If one clicks on 'data modified' in a windows folder, the files are ordered with the most recent first.
In SQLFORM.grid if one has a column with a date in it, and one clicks on the heading, they are sorted with the oldest first. See www.ukjazz.net/store/albums It would be nice if SQLFORM.grid acted the same as windows folders here. Firstly for consistency, and secondly because usually one wants to order things by the most recent first. I realise that a second click on the heading does sort in this way Peter
