ASORT() and nFlags parameter

[RickSchummer]

I have the following code:

SET COLLATE TO "MACHINE"
ASORT(laViews,-1,-1,0,1)

The reason for the SET COLLATE is to guarantee the sort order is case sensative no matter what. On my machine the information in laViews is sorted fine. On another developer's machine it is not sorted at all. At first I did not have the SET COLLATE and thought the other developer had it set to GENERAL which is not case sensative in sorting.

Anyone know of the other setting which can affect the ASORT() function?

Hi Rick,

Try
ASORT(laViews,-1,-1,0,0)
to get a case sensitive sort.

Regards,
Jim

Sorry for not being clear. The problem is not the case sensativity, the problem is the arrays is not sorted at all.

It turns out that I had a bug in my code and did not have the proper test condition set up to test out the offending code. Thanks to everyone who noodled on this problem.
