Sorting Records
You can sort records in OmniForm Filler in ascending, descending, or
original order entry. This is useful for many situations. If you wanted to
export mailing information, for example, you could sort records by
postal code to reduce bulk mailing costs. Or, you might want to sort
invoices by date to find the most delinquent accounts.
You can print, fax, mail, or export this information in the order in which
it is sorted.
