Hi Alan, 

Try defining your array before your first foreach. eg: 

<?php $alreadyListed = []; ?>

That way it won't be undefined when you check if the first time.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you Dave this solved the Undefined variable error, but it still shows a 2016 record on 2015 records.

Can you try sorting by year in descending order? 

'orderBy' => 'a_o DESC, carpeta',

Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you Dave, I tested the code but the  sorting by year in descending order  I have the same problem.

<?php
  require_once "/lib/viewer_functions.php";
  list($transparenciaRecords, $transparenciaMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'transparencia',
    'allowSearch' => '0',
    'orderBy' => 'a_o DESC, carpeta'
  ));
?>

If you add this code just after that it will show debug output with the contents of $transparenciaRecords.

<?php showme($transparenciaRecords); ?>

Are the years in descending order in that output?  Also, can you confirm a_o is the year field?

Hello Dave,

a_o  is the year field

I look that years are in descending order in that output.

Hmm, I'm not sure.  You could try outputting each record in your foreach loop as well to see if the order is getting changed somehow:

<?php foreach ($transparenciaRecords as $record): ?>
  <?php showme($record); ?>

And also view-source on the page and make sure the HTML itself is in the right order and it's not just a display issue.  Other than that we'd need to spend some time and debug it to know.  The code looks good from as far as I can tell.  Let me know what you find!
