F11 Sort Order Hot Key - Changing sort between Code and Description
When in the Weigh form , pressing the F11 key on the keyboard will automatically change the sort order
of the list between By Code and By Description. In order to change the sort order from any other form,
the F11 key must be pressed before the list is opened. Once a list is open, it must be closed first.
To quickly scan through a list, start typing the code when Sort Order = Code , or the first few characters
of the description, when Sort Order = Description.
All TransAct codes are alpha-numeric fields. In order to have a list sorted numerically, make sure all
codes are the same length with leading zeros. The example below shows the difference.
