Hypersort and Indexed files?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Why doesn't Hypersort work with indexed files?
 
Thanks.

The Answer is :

 
  Well, at the very simpliest, because Hypersort was not designed
  to operate with the Indexed file format.  (By definition, Indexed
  files are already sorted.)  Unload the contents of the indexed
  file to a sequential file, and sort it.  Or add the necessary
  key(s) to the indexed file.
