I have a database whose fields include Alpha1, Alpha2, etc., through to Alpha22. This code:
field Alpha1
insertfield "Alpha0"
inserts the new field but it displays in the data sheet as following field Alpha20. Saving, closing and re-opening displays the new field in its correct location, preceding the Alpha1 field. This happens for any number of Alpha fields greater than 20.
If I reduce the initial number of Alpha fields to 20, the new field displays in its correct location.
I have replicated this behaviour on two Macs an in each of the two most recent versions of Panorama X.
