Hi Gilbert

You must remember that Range Limits are fast, Filters are slow. A range
limit needs a key. If there is no suitable key, it will always be slow.
If there is a suitable key, Prop:Filter will use.

Add the 3 marked lines to the Gpprocess.tpw file. When you do reports,
you will have 3 additional embeds. I use the the Before and After View
embeds to change the sort order. The same 3 embeds will also be in
Process procedures - both Process and Report use the Gpprocess.tpw file.

#!---------------------------------------------------
#GROUP(%ProcessSaveLimits),AUTO
#EMBED(%WindowEventOpenWindowBefore,'Window Event: Open Window, before
setting up for reading')
#EMBED(%BeforeKeySet,'Before SET() issued')
  #IF(%PrimaryKey)
SET(%PrimaryKey)
  #ELSE
SET(%Primary)
  #ENDIF
#INSERT(%StandardWriteViewFilter,%ProcessFilter)
#EMBED(%MGCAfterPropFilter,'MGC After Prop:Filter')            #! MGC
IF ERRORCODE()
  StandardWarning(Warn:ViewOpenError)
END
#EMBED(%MGCBeforeOpenView,'MGC Before Opening the View')     #! MGC
OPEN(%ListView)
#EMBED(%MGCAfterOpenView,'MGC After Opening the View')       #! MGC
IF ERRORCODE()
  StandardWarning(Warn:ViewOpenError)
END
#EMBED(%BeforeInitialGet,'Before first record retrieval')
