[DXBase] order of printouts not suitable for our qsl managers ...

[Phil ON4VP]

Yesterday I printed out my first labels.  We have our monthly meeting =
next friday and because the program is still new to me I wanted to be =
prepared to have my qsl cards ready.

Lucky me, I sent more than 5 hourse sorting all qsl for the USA, what a =
big work.  This because the program only print in alphabetic order but =
we over here have to send in are qsl in a specific way.

I really, really hope that an update on print outs can be integrated =
real soon, I don't think I will see myself doing this again next month, =
haven +300 qsl's to USA every month.

To provide info here's how we have to send in our sorted qsl.

- We have to make 2 bundles of cards, one for USA only and one for the =
rest.
- Second all the cards have to be sorted in alphabetic order in both =
stacks.
- A QSL card for a statin via a manager (bureau) has to be sorted on the =
managers callsign
  (f.e. 3X8VV via F5RTF is printed out and sorted like F5RTF)
- For USA, number 9's are highest, number 0 lowest numbers.
- For USA, all numbers come togheter, not mixed on the prefix letters.
  (f.e. first WA9, N9, KB9, AA9, than WA8, N8, KA8, K8, AH8, A8, etc...)
- For USA, the number 4 is special, we have to have all 3letter suffix =
last, 2letter suffix next, just like example above)
  (f.e. first WX4DRE, N4ZTY, KB4RYT, AA4YTA, then WA4TT, W4DF, K4ER, =
A4TY, etc...)

I hade this feature in DX4win working like a charm for us european =
qsl'ers.
Now I had to send 5 hours on sorting out all my US cards, bakc in order =
for our QSL bureau.

I don't like to export all my QSL just because Dxbasa can't handle this =
printing, the rest seems to be very powerfull.
I find it rather funny nobody has claimed this feature already ?
