Reversing Sort Order for Numbers in FileMaker with Custom Functions
Numbers are everywhere — invoices, prices, counts, rankings — and in FileMaker, sorting numbers dynamically(especially in descending order) can quickly become a challenge when dealing with portals and UI-driven sort keys. In this webinar, we’ll teach you how to: Convert numeric fields into sortable, padded strings Use 999999999999 - value to create reversed sort keys Apply dynamic sort direction using a single global toggle Leverage Evaluate() for character-by-character substitution with full control. Avoid schema duplication and make your layouts smarter You’ll walk away with lightweight, production-ready techniques to sort any numeric field in both directions, without changing context or cluttering your relationship graph.

Object-Oriented Design
Join Nicolás Hunter for today’s FileMaker Pro webinar as we explore a transformative development methodology: Adopting an Object-Oriented Approach in FileMaker Pro. In this session, we’ll break down what “Object-Oriented” means in the FileMaker context, and how applying these principles can elevate your solutions to a new level of structure and scalability. Discover the powerful advantages of Object-Oriented design, including: Creating reusable, self-contained components that reduce redundancy and maintenance effort Achieving clearer separation of responsibilities within your solution Making your projects more adaptable to changes and easier to scale as requirements grow Simplifying collaboration, debugging, and onboarding for teams of any size You’ll see practical examples of how to structure tables, scripts, and layouts around “objects” such as Contacts, Invoices, or Projects—making your FileMaker solutions more intuitive, consistent, and future-proof. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how Object-Oriented thinking can transform the way you design, build, and maintain your FileMaker Pro solutions!
