Assign a Sort Spec to a user?

My boss likes to have the Invoices sorted every time he looks at them.  Other users do not need this ability and, in fact, it slows down what they need to do.

Is it possible to "assign" a default sort spec to a specific user?

No, but you can load a saved sort spec On Retreive Spec Open based on @UserID. You might also want to check out the new SpecCommand() stuff, if you don't want to save the Spec. You can actually use SpecCommand to load and run also.

Thank you, that sounds perfect.

In researching it, I have discovered some errors in the PDF manual.  on Page 394 @SpecCommand is detailed.  However, every example of the use of the command on that page and the next leaves out the @ symbol before SpecCommand.  (I was puzzled as to why my code was failing until I scrolled up and saw the @ at the header of the section.

No problem.  This is a great command, by the way; I plan to make a lot of use of it.
