You need to configure it. Search the archives and the tech info sheets on
how to set it up.

In short, you add a setting to your OrderingLinks property which tells how
it should work.

Just use the Bookmark property. It delivers you a hex representation of the
buffer value depending on what your keylinks columns are.

Yes, it is possible to do this using the KeyFields property. You can plug in
column values and then grab out the corresponding bookmark value. KeyFields
is similar to the Fields array only it is for your keylinks (usually primary
key) columns. I can't remember off the top of my head what the bookmark
string is but I think it is obtained by doing KeyFields.RowData (once the
KeyFields.ByName( 'xxxx' ).Asxxxx have been plugged in.
