I wouldn't, it just confuses what should be a simple action. Of course if the customer wants it that way then change it :O)
Ade -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 May 2005 17:36 To: CF-Talk Subject: usability question involving a sort. I have data that looks something like this. Tran Service Product CPT RBC 004350 P9016 FFP 034361 P9017 102199 102199 86999 102131 102131 86808 There are contols to sort each column in either ascending or descending order. My question involves the blank values when sorting by either the Service or Product columns. Is it good, bad or indifferent that when these columns are sorted in asscending order, the blank values appear first. Since there can be several dozen rows like this, they seem to be kind of in the way to me. But maybe that is just me. Would it be worth my time to somehow progamatically ignore these columns in the sort order basically always relegating them to the bottom of the list? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
