Adager's detail dataset repacking (aka DetPack) always preserves the
chronological order of the chains on all paths. However, rebuilding
an unsorted path (using Adager's PathFix or a PathDel and PathAdd
combination, a Suprtool extract/load or a DBUNLOAD/DBLOAD without the
chained option) may alter the chronological order. A Chained
DBUNLOAD/DBLOAD will preserve the chronology of the chains on the
primary path only.


Cordially,


Rene
