Actually I have noticed that by changing the sort order on the form, quite a few sort orders get altered.. For eg. the sort order on active links and filters when you do set fields to find first matching entries.. that gets altered as to which entry it finds first (I learnt that once the hard way round while developing a few years ago a few versions ago).. I do not think that has changed..
I do not remember if the sort order on table fields get altered too but I think it does..
Is there some sort order you were particularly addressing that does not get altered?

Subject: Increasing Entry ID Length
Hi all,
Wanted to bounce this off the group to see if there is an easy and safe way to increase the size of the Entry-ID Field (1). We are currently at a length of six on the Homegrown helpdesk app, and after 10 + years using it, we are about to roll over ID# 999999. What I want to do is to increase it to a length of 8. Problem is that the existing ID's do not pad out to the full 8 digits. Is there any utilities out there that makes this change easy and simple to do. I am pretty sure I can do this by exporting the data and massage it and reimport it, but looking for an easy way to do it.
Thanks in advance.
