Sorting files in database

Francois,
I'm revisiting this topic as I am now ready to try implementing it with some new data. I noticed that the "Events" structure associated with each file has a "reactTime" field, which I am assuming would hold the kind of event metadata I'm talking about. Do you know if I add other metadata fields to my event structure in the continuous file, whether or not those will carry forward into segmented data? What I would like to do is add a "metadata" field to the "Events" structure and then write a process that would include a drop-down menu allowing the user to select any of the sub-fields of "metadata" for sorting trials. Does this sound like it would work?

Thanks!
Paul
