Thanks Aaron,

OK, now I know that lower case names are expected. This  problem
came up when a user was adding a Maypole front end to  an existing
database that had columns with upper case names. There will be
situations like this where you cannot alter the database schema.

I added a section on column naming in  the Default Behaviour
section of the web site.

Hi Kim

I don't specifically refer to the Place column in the template,
just use the generic factory templates. Because I don't want to
display all columns in the table I have the following code:

package Verification::MyData;
sub display_columns
{
   qw(
   Name
   Place
   )
}
sub column_names
{
   Name => 'Name',
   Place => 'Place',
}

The odd thing is if I remove these lines to display all columns, the sorting
works correctly. The beer example uses all lower case column names,
could not find any examples of people using column names starting with
upper case.

That would be your problem then :)

The column names should be lower case, unless you are providing a label / alias.

i.e.
sub column_names
{
    name => 'Name',
    place => 'Place',
}

should work correctly

cheers,

A
