You need to supply a custom sort function, like // function mySort(a,b){ if (a._xscaleb._xscale){ return 1 }else{ return 0 } } // then sort with it... myArray._xscale.sort(mySort) Or you could try a .sortOn() with _xscale, but i'm not sure offhand if that works... On Apr 14, 2006, at 11:48

With respect to the legality, fonts may be likely candidates for piracy - but there's nothing to stop people swapping system font folders.
