Is this something you use often? I'll be glad to add it to our list of requested features if enough users want this feature. You are correct - sorting user data by any field is a feature that is not supported in HomePort. Currenlty in HP I can only sort by Name, Symbol. If I had a track selected, I could click on the date column, the Point column, The lat/long column. Mapsource let us sort by any of the fields in the data. In addition, we need some more sorting abilities. Now I could see only all WP's in Florida. Garmin could easily add the tabs back to the data list, so we could select folder (say Floriday), then select the Waypoint Tab. I can create folders for all the separate categories and move each item into each folder, BUT, I have to list all items in that folder (routes, tracks and WP's) instead of just one of them. Now I would only see waypoints for Florida. Now I could easily filter my view of WP's, Routes and Tracks by selecting one of the tabs (routes/tracks or WP's), and then selecting a category at the top of the WP list. I might also have WP2 which was only categoriezed in Florida. In Mapsource, I categoriezed all my WP's, in your example WP1 could be categorized as Fishing and Florida. The best way to explain is to give an example of how I did it in Mapsource 1st. A few additions to the sorting and filtering would make it much easier I think. With the categories gone, it's much more difficult to manage. Regarding sorting and filtering in Homeport vs Mapsource.
