Re: sorting html text with arrays
Use the form sort myContainer by mySortFuction(each, myContainer) -- specify text, numeric, ascending, descending function mySortFunction singleLineOfList, wholeList --apply as many rules as you wish --filter as many times as you wish --build as many arrays or tables as you wish return (a value to sort by) end mySortFunction Jim Ault Las Vegas On Oct 5, 2010, at 8:46 PM, Mark Swindell wrote: Excellent question, and one I only thought of after posting mine!

Re: sorting html text with arrays
This can be done depending on the text of each line. Can you provide examples of the lines you want to sort?

RE: sorting html text with arrays
Mark, Are you familiar with setting the htmlText of a field? (I've posted a few questions to this list myself recently regarding various aspects of this feature.) You might try making an entire card for each word, set the htmlText of a field in it to your html, sorting the cards by some criteria-perhaps another field with other data in it, and then getting the htmlText of each field in the new order of the cards.
