[Dxbase] Previous QSO - Sort by Date?

[Eric - VE3GSI]

Hi Gary,
Just to clarify my question as there are two previous QSO views in DXbase.
The Previous QSO Toolbar does show calls sorted by date. The Previous QSOs
window I am wanting to sort on the date is the one that I use to maintain my
QSL cards/information, sorry I did include the 's' in QSOs with my first
question so I can see why the confusion.

The real reason I had asked was, last night when I imported my LoTW data
there were a number of stations that I have worked in contests that use the
whole word SAINT and not ST in the county column. When I go to correct these
entries I have to manually scroll through all these entries to find the
correct date.  Actually the same when I receive a QSL card, often I have to
do a manual search to find those entries. Searching by date world vastly
speed up manual updating for me and I am sure others who have large logbooks
and high volumes of QSL cards.

I was hoping there was something I had overlooked in the DXb help file that
would allow for date sorts in Previous QSOs. 

Thanks for your input,
Eric - Ve3gsi
