texte = >From a database with a field of values, how do I find the ten greatestvalues (i.e., the top ten). Simply adding a descending sort and max=10 inthe search command seems to return the first ten values that satisfy thesearch criteria, not finding all the values, sorting them in descendingorder, and then showing me only the top 10.I feel like I'm missing something obvious... I don't know the range of thevalues, so I can't use any range comparison.Thickly,Kevin LippertNY, NY-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
