I have a grid set up that is showing fields from a view. I want to be able to sort the grid by clicking the header. I hate
to hard code the field name in each header click method but here is what I have come up with.

if sys(22) <> 'PARTNO' then
index on partno tag partno
else
set order to partno
endif
thisform.refresh

The next header would have 'DESCRIPTION' instead of partno.

I figured by creating the index in the click method I save processing by not creating indexes that will never
get used. Does it make sense to do it this way?
