First, DO NOT re-edit all your Artist names!

We can modify the Prepare Songbook dialog to provide for sort by firstname or by lastname. Makes sense to me. If it does to Engineering also, we'll have it in 4.06 within a few weeks.

Sweet! Thanks, that will save me huge amounts of time, as well as everyone else I am sure. Thanks!!

We have an engineering problem.

Since the Artist fields contain both last and first names, we do not have sort access to order them by first or last name as I proposed above. To accomplish this would require building an array in RAM then running a sort on the [last], [first] fields within the [name] field.

After evaluating this from the code level, this turned into a "large" project that we cannot justify at this time. I've got it in our spec to do when we get a break.

Vista set us back about 6 months this year so we are still playing catch-up. We could work in a "small" project, but this is not in that class.
