Business Name/Sort

Business Sort defaults to the name of the business.  

For the rare case where the business name and the name you wish to sort by are not the same, you change Business Sort to handle the difference.  (Business Name: JS Travel Consulting, Business Sort: Smith, John Travel Consulting)

Vendor lists in ViaTour display whatever is in the Business Name field on the Vendor record, but uses the value in the Business Sort field to determine placement for alphabetical order.

When adding a new vendor the Business Sort defaults to Business Name, which the user can then override for exceptions. For example you may want "The Best Tour Co." to appear in the "B" section, so you'd type "Best Tour Co." in the Business Sort field.

When renaming a Vendor's Business Name  be sure to also rename the Business Sort field (ViaTour will not automatically do this).
