Hi, If I understood well, at present (V4RB 1.10) sorting by language (" French ", for example) is made only if the base is "coded" in macRomanl. At present, it don't work) with the encoding " UTF8 ". (???) On the other hand, in the version 2 of V4RB it could work. (???) Regards, -- Thierry Nauze Saint-Denis de la Réunion
