Peter,
Very cool.. I'll give it a try. Here is a script I came across which allows
an easy way of sorting columns:
For sortable colum/table widget, here is a solution:
1. Create a field
2. In the field's properties dialog box:
Set the hGrid and vGrid to true
Enter tab stops in the Tabstops field
(50,90,130,170 as example)
3. Enter information in the field one row at a time, by hitting tab key
for each colum in a row. Hit return key when you come to the end of
row. Cursor takes you to the next row in the field
4. Put a button above or below each column
5. Script for sorting the field by colum in each button will be:
sort lines of field "myField" by word 1 of each
(sort each line/row by first colum)
or
sort lines of field "myFidle" by word 3 of each
(sort each line/row by 3rd colum)
You can also set the itemDelimiter to "tab" and sort by items if your
items must be able to have spaces in them.
