Filter to show most recent n generations?

[Robert Stark]

Is there a way in CSF and/or director to show only the most recent N generations.

We don't want to filter on a specific generation, as that would change every day.

​Stark,

In CSF, you can use the PR (Presentation) command to arrange your columns.  If you use designators like "A" and "B" to sort the column.  I have a view that looks like this:

 Field                Sort   Sort   Pres    Pres   Pres    
 Description          Order  Seq    Order   Len    Title   
                                                           
 Account Number  ===>                                      
 Agent Name      ===>               6                      
 Appl Def Seq    ===>                                      
 Appl Generation ===>               5B                     
 Appl Name       ===>               4A                     

In this example, my appl names are listed in alphabetical order first, then sorted by generation number.

You may also be able to accomplish what you are trying to do with a freeform filter:

In Director, each view gets its own "Sort" tab that you can use to sort the view by "Generation Number"

Hope this helps!
