Hi Joe,

>>>We have this method SetOrder for our Grid class. In a header.Click() just invoke this.parent.parent.SetOrder(). It's not necessary to specify parameter.

If your header caption is always the same, as the field name, you may use in Header.Click() this.parent.parent.SetOrder(this.caption). You may want to programatically create Header class and substitute Header1 with your Header class in run-time. Check Cetin's two grids class example in File section for futher details.

If you want to use UPPER(characterField) in your index, try this syntax in Header.Click():
local lcFieldName
lcFieldName='upper('+this.caption+')' && Caption should be exactly the same, as Field Namr
this.parent.parent.SetOrder(lcFieldName)

You can enchance it more..., but you get the idea
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
