it is set up for an order by i dont think there is anyway i can set that index to a different one like that because doesnt the cdx handle the link with the parent table? how would i set it up so that the grid would use one index and then everywhere else i would be jumping in and out of others wouldnt that interfere with it? because i would have to set the index to something else in the workarea but while that grid is being used i need to be able to swap to another index on the same file?
