Hi all,

I'm writing a program which uses a lot of sorting of series (reasonably large loops etc). Whenever I use the series "sort" command (series_name.sort) the series being sorted is opened on the screen (like using the "show") command. Is there any way I can suppress this? It seems to make the program run extremely slowly and is a bit aggravating as I end up with millions of series opened on screen (I don't want to delete these series btw so deleting them in the program is not an option).

When I use the sort command with a group (eg. "group.sort(1,2,3)" or "freeze(table_name) group.sort(1,2,3)" it doesn't open the group being sorted. This only seems to be a problem with series sorting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, my boss wants this quick!

Looks like there isn't a way to stop this currently. I'll see if we can fix that though.

Hmm ok. I kludged past it using group sorting but it's definitely something I'd appreciate for future use (will probably be using this function a lot over the next year)

Thanks for your prompt reply!

For now, just use the close command right after the sort. It's klugy, but probably easier than doing the group kluge.
