Out of order log entry

Post by Peter F »

Hi all,

I am running ner 2.6 and have found some out of order log entries. For example an entry timed at 1045 Hrs is displayed before an entry for 1042 Hrs.

Any ideas.

Out of order log entry

Post by G0CUZ »

Hi Peter

Winlog32's default sorts the Log by the fields "Date, STime, QSONo"

When post-logging e.g. entering QSO's from paper logs with random date/time entry - the log will NOT reflect the sort order until the log is loaded again.

Here are the things to check.

Obviously the date is the same?

Is the default sort order selected (menu/Options/Settings/Page View - LOG PAGE

Dislay Preferences should be set to "Date, STime, QSONo" NOT just "QSONO" or by any other fields. Check also Sort Log is "Asc" (=Ascending).

Try re-entering the offending time(s)

I don't know of any other reason for this behaviour.

Incidentally "Date, STime, QSONo" sort ensures that if duplicate 'Stime' values are entered on a particular Date, the sort order will be in the order the QSO's were entered in - this could happen in contests or with a rapid QSO rate where more than one QSO is entered in one (same) minute.

Sorting the Log by the "QSONO" field will show the Log in the order the QSO's were entered irrespective of Date or Time entered, sometimes this is useful if you need to know what the last QSO entered in your last post-logging session was.
