Thanks to all who responded to my question. I'll play around with the
itemdel property. It's one that I believe HyperCard doesn't have, and I
suspect will be very handy.

Hi List Members,
I've got a list field with tab-separated strings on each line,
which, in effect, creates the illusion of columns. When the field is
shown, I'd like users to be able to sort it using any column "title" as
the sort key (e.g., sort by column 1, column 2, and so on). What's
Ok, "sort items of dValues descending numeric" seems to be the winner.
I'm using 2.2.5

PS: And you also forgot to send in a bug report about the MetaCard

dValues ="2.1,1.6,1.1,0.8,0.6"
I've tried using the sort command, but without success.

There *is* sort of a GUI for this. The "Stack Components" dialog
allows you to rearrange cards by selecting thei
d of functionality you can imagine, including sorting
cards. The "sort" command card in the MetaTalk Reference stack (MC
2.2.5) says this about it:
start
sort [ [ [ marked ] cards of ] [ ] [ ] [ by ]
The sort command sorts either the cards in
One of the more frequent questions that I get from people to whom I
introduce Metacard is: how do you sort cards in a stack? The feature of
Powerpoint to show you a birds-eye view of your file, and be able to
arrange the slides by dragging and dropping would be a nice feature to have
in Metacard.
