1218730 - Sorting ignored in Btrieve report with 'Use Indexes or Server for Speed' enabled

After selecting the 'Use Indexes or Server for Speed' option in Crystal Reports 10, sort settings are ignored in native Btrieve reports.

The issue has been identified and tracked under ID ADAPT00435671.

Hot Fixes or Service Packs address this issue as indicated below. This behavior is by design. When the 'Use Indexes or Server for Speed' option is enabled, the sorting role is passed to the server. Due to limitations in the native Btrieve driver, more than one index cannot be accessed for the same request. As a result, sorting is incorrectly applied.

With the update(s), the following registry entry key is added to resolve this issue:

Registry Entry Information

-------------------------------

Subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Database\Btrieve\DoNotPushDownSorting

Type: STRING

Recognized Values: Yes; No

Default Value: No

Creation Method: Hot Fix Installation

When this entry is set to "Yes", the sort settings are evaluated and applied to the report.

Unless indicated otherwise, Weekly Hot Fix updates from the FTP site have only been tested with English versions of our products.
