The latest on my list of things Claris broke when they went from Filemaker II to Filemaker Pro:

A database is sorted.  You find a subset of the records.  The found subset is NOT, I repeat NOT NOT NOT sorted in the original order.  This is the most G.D stupid imbecilic asinine design decision I have run across in a long time.  Because it means that EVERY time I find a subset I have to re-sort.  And then when I go back to the original entire set, I have to re-sort AGAIN.

Claris are you listening?  USE YOUR BRAINS.
