Geoff,
I don't know how to turn it off, but have a suggestion for a work
around. It may be more of a pain then a help, but here it is. Add a
number field to the table. Sort the list by the current address. Then
use replace field contents with serial number for the new number
field. Sort by the number field and then do all of your corrections.
Since the sort is now based on the number field nothing should move.
When you are done set the sort back to normal. You can leave the
number field for the next time you have to do this or remove the field.
I hope this is helpful.

Hi All,
Is there a way to turn off the new "Re-Sort at All Costs" feature we
now have in FM10?
I'm cleaning a list of addresses for a mailing list, and have them
sorted by Address LIne 1. Thus all the numbers (the vast majority of
"good" addresses) go to the top, I scroll to the bottom to fix the
records that have say, "Curlew Center" as the street address. Of
course, the moment I enter the numbered street address, the record
jumps position thousands of records away from where it was, and way,
way off my screen. Heaven forbid if I click out before I'm finished
editing the record. Yes it's still the current record, so I can
Control-Down and Up arrow to reveal the record but...
In some situations this feature is very cool; in this one it stinks.
Can anybody tell me where I can uncheck this feature?
Geoff
