While the thread is on sorting, I'll ask a question that has come up (and yielded some nice scripts; Thanks!) before. Will there, in the future, be a SORT command in Hypercard that will deal with containers? Or, better yet, is there an XCMD that exists now that will do a container sort? I know of a few that do straight alpha sorts, but what I want/need is an INTELLIGENT setup in which I can say "sort bg field 'this n that' by last item" or "sort descending field 'myList' by item 3". .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {rosevax, crash, orator}!orbit!pnet51!pj | Working with idiots keeps | | ARPA: crash!orbit!pnet51!pj@nosc.mil | my life interesting... | | INET: pj@pnet51.cts.com | | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
