The content type that I created has only 4 fields Title, Body, Text, and Date field. I only added the Text and Date field to the view.

Thanks

I also get this popup some times:

An AJAX HTTP request terminated abnormally.
Debugging information follows.
Path: /admin/structure/views/ajax/preview/testview
ResponseText:
ReadyState: 4

Ok I have determined that when I create a sort it has an html path of testsort?order=entity_id&sort=asc or some variation of that. Not containing the field I want to sort on. The fields that work have the field name in the path such as testsort?order=title&sort=asc

I feel like I am getting closer....but...I am not sure how to fix that!!!

I found this bug report and will be trying it.

SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation

This is in the latest dev release and will be trying it.

Thanks
