    1. COGreat thanks Gion that works perfectly. To be honest the sort function completely baffles me. I'm passing 'a' and 'b' as parameters to the 'dmyOrdA' function but I can't see what relationship this has to my 'times' array. If you had time it would be great if you could explain this. Thanks.

    2. CO@Stephen Young: When you sort an array in javascript, you need to provide a way of comparison between two of the array's elements. This way, you pass as a parameter to the sort method a function that takes 2 elements of your array and decides which one will be `lower` and which one will be `greater`.If the first element is `grater` than the other, the function will return `1`.If it is lower than the other, it will return `-1`, and if they're equal, it returns `0`. You can picture the function as a question: is the first element bigger than the second?Answer:`1`-yes,`-1`-no,`0`-inconclusive

    3. CO@gion_13 I think I'm beginning to understand this. Just two questions: (1) You say "you pass as a parameter to the sort method a function that takes 2 elements of your array" but how does the sort method know how to sort _all_ the elements in the array? (2) I don't understand the `return` aspect of the function. If you take out the `else if` part and change `if (a > b) return 1` to `if (a > b) return -1` it will still sort by ascending order. However, if you leave out the `(a > b)` statement and just have `if (a < b) return -1` it will not sort by descending order but `return 1` will. Why?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
