If your data comes from a SQL query, you can redo the query with a different 
"ORDER BY" SQL clause.

If your query returns a lot of data, just return what you need by using the 
Limit() method ( or the "LIMIT" SQL keyword).

The DataView control of gb.db.form just does all that. It only fetches 64 
records of a query, and does its sorting by using "ORDER BY". It works well 
even if there is Internet between the computer and the database.

What's the problem with the form colors? They should not change if you switch 
between gb.qt and gb.gtk.
