>>In my grid class I allow users to sort on up to 3 columns by clicking in the headers. I convert all the fields to characters in order to string them together. For example, the code might look something like:
>>INDEX ON CharField1+STR(NumField2) TAG temp
>>The problem is that if the numeric field contains negative numbers, they don't sort properly by value. How can I get the numbers to sort correctly and yet index on multiple fields?

>Maybe you can add a sign flag to the string with iif(x<0,'A','B') or something like that. Then negative values are lower then positive ones.

This puts the negative numbers first, but the higher negative numbers are listed first.
