I think this could be a tough feature to implement, but it would be cool if we could sort a subset of records in a link-to-form scenario. The manual sorting works for records in an entire form, but will not do anything if you drill down via a link to form field.
So for example, you have a form called “Projects” then have a child form “Tasks” via a link-to (one to many relationship) field. By clicking a task in the Link To field in the project form layout it will go to the task, and show all the other tasks related to that project.
It would be very useful to be able to manually sort these tasks within this collection of records. Right now I use scripts to promote / demote the tasks with a numeric “order” field which works, but a manual sort would be much easier to implement going forward. :)

Hi Shane,
Yes, that would be tricky to implement. I’ll have to think about that. I do store one-to-many and many-to-many relationships on a separate entity from the actual records. But I don’t have a sort field in the database for that at the moment.
Thanks,
Brendan
