This command allows you to create a new sort definition and add it
to the definition list.

When you choose this command, you will be asked to enter a name
for the new definition.  This name must be eight characters or
less and must not have special characters such as . * spaces, etc.
You will then be asked to provide a description of the sort
definition.

You are then asked if you want to Create Similar.  If you indicate
"Y", you will be brought back to the list of sort definitions and
the following command list will appear:

Options:  Select  Other_Location  Abort

Use the cursor keys, (or F3 to find), to highlight the sort
definition you wish to copy and then use the SELECT command to
copy it.  You will then be able to modify the selected sort.

If you want to copy a system sort definition, then select the
OTHER_LOCATION command.  A list of system sort definitions will be
displayed.  Use the cursor keys to select the sort you want to
copy.  You may use the F5 command to display sort definitions in a
different directory.

Once this screen has been completed, you will be presented with a
pop-up selector containing all fields in the data file.  Select
one or more fields to use as sort criteria: the first one you
choose will be the primary field, and others will be secondary.
Then you are given a box which allows you to specify ascending or
descending order for each of the chosen fields.  For complete
details on creating sort definitions, refer to the Database Manual.

When you have finished defining the sort, it is executed. You are
then returned to the data view, where you may continue to work
with the newly ordered records.
