There is no secondary sort column for this view

One of my customers had one user that intermittently got the error "there is no seconday sort column for this view" when doing a type-ahead search in the address dialog box in Lotus Notes 7.0.2. Deleting the cache.ndk would temporarily solve the problem.

Today I found a document in the Notes/Domin 6 and 7 Forum posted in October 2004 where Martijn Mulder (thank you, thank you, should you be reading this!) describes the cause and resolution of the problem.

When you start a "Starts with..." search in a categorized view (by just starting to type) you have the possibility to either "Search Within Category" or "Search All". When you choose to "Search Within Category" Notes for some reason 'remembers' this option so it uses this option when doing a "Find names starting with" in the "Select Addresses" interface. Since that search is happening in a non-categorized, the error appears.

You can 'solve' the issue by doing another search in a categorized view and selecting "Search All".

This issue is solved in version 7.0.3 and 8.x.

Gravatar Image1 - this was EXACTLY the fix that my customer needed, thanks very much for a resolution, that we inadvertantly caused ourselves by searching in another database 2 minutes earlier...Thanks Mulder
