Sort it how?
maybe I am mixing apples and oranges. I am thinking of general search.
I have done a general search for a name of a plant, and it has brought up lots of plants, and I have to search through them because they are all mixed up. It would be nice to be able to click on the column header and sort by species or alphabetical by cultivar name etc. For example, lets say a daylily I like has the name of a woman, but I don't remember the full name. So I put in the general search "Paula" The results do not seem to be in any order. Daylilies are not together, they are not alphabetical - they seem to me that they are listed any old way.
The other thing I wish in the characteristic search is that it was not limited. For instance if I go to the daylily database, search for Hanson as hybridizer, tet as ploidy - it says the max has been reached. It asks me to narrow my search. However, sometimes you want to know all the names of cultivars a certain person hybridized, not just a partial list. When I go to the AHS database and select the same options, it comes up with 573 daylilies, listed in alphabetical order, and lets me choose which of the 58 pages to display.
Maybe I don't know how to use the database here correctly?
Sorry if I am being greedy ---
