    Hi xnau!

    First of all, a BIG thank you for your hard work on this plugin. It is easy to see that you spent a lot of hours on it and I really appreciate that.
    Now, a couple of questions if you don’t mind.
    I am crating a club of members for a .org so this plugin is perfect to allow them to maintain their data as well as do it myself if needed.

    Do I need to have 2 or more identifiers for each record? Can I have them? SSN and email for instance, to avoid duplications. You know we are humans and make mistakes 🙂
    I would need a member number too, but guess I can use the Record ID for that.
    Also, how can i convert a text field into a number field to get it ordered? I have read about that but just don’t understand which part of the record I need to edit on phpmyadmin.
    Sorry if this topic was already discussed, I am unable to find it.

    Again xnau, thank you very much.

    Have a nice day,
    Joe

    No, it’s not possible to use more than one identifier. If your members already have numbers, you can just add a new field for that. Using the internal IDs is tricky and I don’t recommend it.
