Thank you Bob..<br>
Yes, it was one of my concerns. The other one was to retrieve easily if a
call had been included. I accepted your suggestion and look for help in
Wiki. I just discover that "awk" is involved so why not an
external applet on Win-test page to help who likes putting hands on such
a file? Could it be a nice idea for a future? I hope...<br>
Thanks again<br>

But I don't think there is any need to "sort" it after doing an
Update Database. It should still work fine. It should not
contain any duplicates, if that is your concern.<br><br>

<dd>Hi all,<br>
<dd>how to sort the database file after it has been updated after a
contest?<br>
<dd>Yesterday I did EU-HF and I appreciated a lot to find the YEAR field
pre-filled with EUHF.dtb.<br>
<dd> Sadly a lot of callsigns had the wrong year in the pre-filled
so I corrected them during the event and did an UPDATE DATABASE
command.<br>
<dd>All worked fine but I found the new calls had been moved at the end
of file. Is a way or a software to work inside a DTB file, so, fopr
example, sorting the whole file? I read somewhere that it's apparently a
text format file...<br>
<dd>TIA<br>
