Hello Paul. I tried sorting and it didn't work. I put the VO Cursor on a name and typed VO+shift+backslash. I got the error tone. I don't know how to put the VO cursor on a column header. Am I missing a step?
Thanks so much.

Now you can sort for any column in both directions. > Hth, > Paul. > On Sep 25, 2011, at 3:44 AM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > >> Hi Paul. >> You have to go into the View Menu and go down to Sort by.
