This capability has been requested before in the FHUG Forums, and I thought there was Wish List entry, but cannot find one. May I suggest that the Descriptor values should be standardised on the ordinal numbers 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ..., 9th. (Nine should be enough.) Then not only could a Plugin order the Facts in the Properties Box appropriately, but Fact Queries, and Record Window Columns could also filter and order the Facts according to the Descriptor. Eventually, FH might take over the role from the Plugin. What say you all?
