Dynamically sorting portals has always been a struggle for FileMaker Developers — in this article we introduce a method using value lists, which avoids unstored calculations and is compatible with FileMaker Server's ability to sort records.

Duplicating records in FileMaker is straightforward — there's the Duplicate Record script step to do this. But duplicating a set of records, along with related child records, is a whole lot more complex...
