View Full Version : DView - Sort by column, but do not make a key

I have a large file. In order to get it in sequence, I need to sort by a numeric column but I don't want the column to be a key field. Reason: the numeric column on one file is .14 and on the other file it is .15.

Sort fields:

cusip, purchase date, sale date, ex date, shares, div amount

I want them sorted by all fields, but only considered a record match based on all fields except div amount.

Our current work around is to sort before we do the compare and not specify any sorting in the data viewer rules.

Thanks,

The sort that is currently in the Data Viewer is for alignment purposes. Sorting the display is on the wishlist.
