Sorting on hidden field
I have a hidden field (Modified) which defaults to the system date, and is updated on edit. It is not available to sort on - I assume because it is "hidden" I would like to be able to sort on it so the most recently updated records are displayes first.

If you want all of your searches to be sorted on the same field, take out

Code:
Sort By:
<SELECT NAME="sb">
<OPTION>---
~; for (my $i =0; $i <= $#db_cols; $i++) { print qq~
<OPTION VALUE="$i">$db_cols[$i]</OPTION>\n~ if ($db_form_len{$db_cols[$i]} >= 0); } print qq~
</SELECT>

from html_search options, and instead use

<input type="hidden" name="sb" value="3>

Replace the 3 with the number of the field you want to sort by.
