making changes

Thank you for your help. It worked first time. With 5,000 items to catalogue i want to try to get a good set-up right at the beginning.
The site is incredibly detailed -almost TOO many combinations and slots, but i do think it needs better help via a good manual to download. I note there have been some who have not persevered and left Orange. A lot of it is "trial and error", though i did by chance find some notes on the site.
Do you happen to know whether one can do an alphabetical sort in "tracks and cover" view...and others, come to think of it? When i return and open DB and add, the new items don't always go at the bottom of list, they appear all over the place, which is a nuisance. Hope you don't mind me picking your brains. Brian

You can sort on any column just by left clicking on the column header. One click and it sorts ascending, two and it sorts descending. Blowers described how to add and delete columns. To sort in date added order, you can use the column Date Added. New items will appear sorted using whatever column you have selected (so it's not really all over the place). If you use a Preset as Blowers suggested, it will preserve whatever sort was in effect when you created the Preset.
