I think if you set the numberFormat to “00” and itemDelimiter to “:” you can
add 0 to each item.

33 seconds.
So why is 25:34 not twenty-five minutes and 34 seconds?
Last time I checked, there are 60 minutes in an hour.

25:34 and 34:55 are not valid dateTimes, so where those lines get
sorted to is not well undefined; it looks as though LC simply decides
to give them a '0:00'.

Another way to do this would be to put a 0 in front
Well Mark,
I guess I do not know how to state minutes and seconds in the proper syntax
for a correct dateTime sort.
However, your piece of code below works perfectly. Thanks very much!
Larry
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into myList
set the itemDel to colon
sort lines of myList numeric by it
Larry,
I looked at this again. If I use the following script
on mouseUp
set the twelveHourTime to true
put fld 1 into myList
set the itemDel to colon
sort lines of myList descending numeric dateTime
put myList into fld 2
end mouseUp
I get this result:
16:33
15:56
12:16
11:35
9:
OT
work properly, right?

Another way to do this would be to put a 0 in front of the 'hours &
minutes' before you sort them...

Apart from those two lines, it looks (to me) like the result is correct.

Larry,
that should be
sort lines of field myTimes descending dateTime
I assume that myTimes is a variable, but if it isn't, then your lines
should be
sort lines of field "myTimes" descending dateTime

Here is my script line:
sort field myTimes descending dateTime
And here is the result:
16:33
15:56
12:16
11:35
9:14
7:47
2:08
1:22
25:34
34:55
Here is my other script line:
sort field myTimes ascending dateTime
And here is the result for that:
25:34
34:55
1:22
2:08
7:47
9:14
15 matches
