In Foxpro Dos if an index is descending then the entire index is flipped upside down so that if the native order is
ACCT TRANS#
1 1
2 5
2 8
3 10
4 12

a index on acct in descending order would result in EXAMPLE A
4 12
3 10
2 8
2 5
1 1

However in VFP the descending order is EXAMPLE B
4 12
3 10
2 5
2 8
1 1
If in VFP the descending index is opened ASCENDING it results in Exaple A's order.

This is strange to me. Is this intentional or it is a bug in VFP?
A problem is a problem only as long as it has a possible solution. Lacking that, it becomes a FACT!
