I'm not going to try to address the nuts and bolts or time required for changing AC programming. I hope that there are no union issues involved in changing the order by part of an SQL statement that is already working well.
I have two problems with Imported Items as anticipated in v6.5.
First, by adding the feature that folders will close by default, AC is adding another click. This is worthwhile with reverse chronological listing of items because you know that your next click is only millimeters away almost all of the time. If AC keeps the chronological listing for all imported items, then you still have to scroll after you click the folder open. What's wrong with an extra hundred clicks a day for us professional clickers.
Second, Imported Items needs batch processing. I don't expect this feature any time soon. For years I have had document management software that allows my staff to browse to a folder with hundreds of items and transfer them all into the software with one click. All you have to do is label each item with whatever chart number you use, and each import is of the same type, as in authorizations or prescriptions. Having to import each item one at a time is sooooooooooo much slower. I am having to pay overtime to try to keep Imported Items up to date. I am right now trying to make the decision on going back to my old document management software, which also allows me to sort and filter in any way I want. Just as with the PM, two best of breeds can be better than a mutt.
