Forward and Backward Collation

This is the direction FileMan's lookup utilities should $ORDER through this subscript when entries are returned or displayed to the user. If for example, you have a compound index on a Date of Birth field and a Name field, and you specify a COLLATION of backwards on the Date of Birth value, the Lister and the Finder will return entries in reverse-date order. Likewise, question mark (?) help and partial matches in interactive ^DIC lookups will display entries in reverse-date order.
