We have customized the Inbox on our mail template to sort Descending (instead of the default Ascending). However, when accessing a database with the customized mail template using iNotes on the iPhone this sort is reversed to Ascending. It seems to me that somewhere in forms8.nsf Lotus is reversing the sort. I just can’t find it. Can anyone help on this one?
Subject: solution to reverse order of email in iPhone
We had the same issue, the inbox was sorted descending by date in the mail template. iPhone reversed the sorting to ascending. Very undesirable.
To solve this, open the iNotes/forms8.nsf.
Open form m_MailView.
This forms tells the browser what to open. It opens the inbox and sorts by column $70 (= date column).
<dwa:formatviewentriesunread viewname=“{FolderName}” rowformat=“m_MailRowFormat” sortcolumn=“$70” count=“{Count}” extformat=“Counter:Counter;TotalCount:TotalCount” />
Remove ‘sortcolumn=“$70”’ from this line.
This part acts like clicking the sort column again in the notes client, and reverses the default sort column.
Do NOT remove this string when your inbox view is not sorted by date by default, because the iPhone has no way of resorting the column.
Unless you want this to happen of course…
Hope this works for you.
Cheers
