Hi Mark,
Yep it's unique - and I've used it to create a connected table with that sortfield as the unique key (with the record ID of the original record in Table A in there too). Both are numerics.
Feels like I'm heading in the right direction with this but my brain just can't figure out where to go next with this!

5 years agoWhat happens if you export to another table called COPY table. I am wondering if when you do a saved table to table import it will respect the default sort of the table and the records will come across in the correct sequence.

If that works you could have a hourly process run by a pipeline which word delete the records in the other table and reload them. You would set the key field in that other table to be the sort field.
Then you would have a relationship back to your real table based on that sort field and you would be able to coax the Record ID from your real table up into the Copy table.
The records and the Copy table will be sequential. So you can have a relationship of the Copy table to itself to look up the previous or next record ID and then get the record ID from your main table of the previous and next records into the Copy table.
Then lookup those Record ID values back down to the main table.
