The SORT command will allow you to place newly added records in their proper sequence (sorted by last name) without having to exit and re-enter the application, if you don’t use the Autosort feature (see Options). You can also sort on other fields while in the application. (You do not have to do the Sort function, as it will be done automatically when you exit, if any changes have been made to the database. However, if you do many adds during a session, you might want to see what the database looks like without having to exit and re-enter.)

While in the application, you can sort on the following fields:

Name
Address1 (house number and street)
Address2 (city/state/)
Zip code
Home phone number
Office phone number
Control information (date added/imported/changed)
Date of member's sign-up (as entered/displayed on the View window)
Date of sign up by month/date(can be useful for sorting birthdays if you use the sign-up date to hold a birthday or anniversary that you want remembered year by year
Date of last aliyah
Dues
Amount Owed
Amount Paid

After you sort, when you do any printing, the records will be printed in the order you have sorted them.
When you click the Sort function button or click the Sort function in the function menu, you will get a menu with the various fields you can sort on. The field checked is the field that the data is currently sorted on.
Note: Sorted order is kept across uses of the system. Thus if you sort on Zip code and close the database, the next time you open the database it will be presented in Zip code order.
