Is it possible to create aportal that shows a selected result. The
context is an INVOICE layout within or adjacent to which there is a
portal showing all Invoices. This portal creates the list through a X
variable. It would be good to recreate this portal again but have it
sorted so that it shows Invoices, Status_Shipped = "".

Thanks

Two basic ways of setting up portal sorting:

Set up sorting in the relationship that is used for the portal. If you
want two portals sorted differently, set up two relationships with
different sorting.

In recent versions of FileMaker, the portal definition includes the
option of sorting. Set up two portals wit different sorting.

AS to layout that shows the two differently-sorted portals, you can put
them in two different tab controls, each labeled appropriately.

There is a slightly more complex method, which is to define a script to
set the value of a field to provide the basis for sorting, include IF or
CASE statements, and make the column headings into pushbuttons that
assign the appropriate value.
