M204.1687 FNV on Ordered For loop was not an ORDERED field: field = fieldName
A field name variable (%%fieldname) was executed in a For Each Record In Order By %%fieldname statement, and the %fieldname contains the name of a NONORDERED field. The In Order By clause cannot be used with NONORDERED fields.
Response: The Sort Records statement must be used to order records by a NONORDERED non-SORT KEY field. Correct the program to use the Sort statement if ordering by a NONORDERED field is required.
File manager response: Consider making the field ORDERED, since For Each Record In Order By may be more efficient than the Sort Records statement.
