Process with CCRQInvoice

After loading orders, click the Sort box and select the field to sort on from the drop-down box. Normally you will be doing an “Alpha” sort.

You can sort by:

•      Item ID

•      Order line description

•      Order quantity

•      Service Date

•      Any “custom field” that has been defined and is displayed on the order template.

Normally you will want to do an “alpha” sort, but you can choose a “numeric” sort. If you choose “numeric” but the field contains any value that is not a number, that field will be sorted like it is the number zero (0). An “alpha” sort goes character by character, where a “numeric” sort will sort by the numeric value. To illustrate the difference, let’s look at three Item ID’s. We will use “2”, “31” and  “111”.

If you sort these values by a “numeric” sort, you would see “2”, “31” and then “111”, based on their value.

If you sort these values by an “alpha” sort you would see “111”, “2” and then “31”. The program sorts alphabetically, by the first character, then by the second character, and so forth.
