        StaticName="InvoiceCategoryDescription"

        Sealed="FALSE"
        ReadOnly="FALSE"
        Filterable="TRUE"
        Sortable="TRUE"
        Hidden="FALSE"
        List="{38B9C071-E4EE-4179-9CB2-DA138138A6A9}"
        FieldRef="Invoice_x0020_Category1234"
        ShowField="CatDesc"
        JoinColName="float1"
        JoinRowOrdinal="0"
        JoinType="INNER">
  </Field>
