Unlikely to ever happen though, as we'd have to re-sort the data in the PGresult structure that's used as a virtual table for the grid. Avoiding that would mean copying the data into a private data structure first, as we used to do in v1.2 and older (or whatever the last release was before we changed that). That has a host of other problems associated with it, and we're not going back to those days! >> Would eliminate the need to rerun the query to change order, or >> cut/paste results to excel to sort. > > Nope, that would not change.

It would be *extremely* hard to do reliably as it would have to rewrite user defined queries. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
