Sorting dates in descending order should be simple — but when you're working with portals, global UI controls, or text-based keys, things can get messy fast.
In this focused session, you'll learn how to reverse-sort dates using pure calculation logic and custom functions, without duplicating fields or adding schema clutter.
We’ll guide you through:
-Understanding FileMaker’s internal date serialization
-Using GetAsNumber() to normalize and compare dates
-Applying the "99999999 - date" trick to invert sort direction
-Leverage Evaluate() for character-by-character substitution with full control.
-Creating clean, padded sort keys for text-based portal sorting
-Building UI-driven, flexible sorting without hardcoded logic

If you’re working on calendars, event lists, timelines, or dashboards — this technique will immediately make your FileMaker UX sharper and your codebase leaner.
