Greetings to the group,

Is there a sort option for different layouts? Here's what I am trying to do:

i have a portal setup on a layout, records in the portal can be clicked so
that their details show up in yet another layout. once the user is in this
latest layout (detail), and they decide to move to the next record or previous
record, the (related) records that are shown are out of sort. I'd like to sort
this.

Any and all help as always is appreciated.

On the portal layout the portal rows are shown according to the sort
order of the relationship. On the detail layout you are not looking at
the portal rows but at the records themselves, which have their own sort
order independent of the sort order of the relationship.
If you want the sort orders to be the same, you should sort the records
separately in the same order as the portal rows.

I agree. How do I go about doing that? I have not found a way of doing it.

In that case you probably are best served by opening FileMaker Pro Help
and typing 'sort' in the search box. You'll find a lot of useful
material there.
