Re: Sorting Arrays
I formatted the sortKeys as I would an SQL query or an LC sort, but then I needed to isolate the key from the parameters because I couldn’t assume the sort key was simply the first word.

Re: Sorting Arrays
I used a short, one-dimensional numbered array: put the weekdayNames into tDataA split tDataA by cr simpleSortNumberedArray tDataA, "descending,text" But as Alex explained, one dimension wasn't enough. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On August 11, 2023 7:09:50 PM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: Send me what you have.

Got it, thanks.

OK, if I have the time I will wait next time and see what happens.

It happen when I start the app, at that point there is no PDF loaded, just the
"start card"
with a couple of poly grids.
It also happened in the same "session", means no switching the device off and
on again.
I started the device then opened my app, no problems.
Then I quit my app and started again, BOOM, black screen.

Yes, will do, thanks for the hint!
