Eric, Outstanding. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
I happen to be using 5.1.23-prerelease, so the new sortsub filter works perfectly. Also thank you for the example of splitting sub-strings using split and rest, as well as the technique for creating a temporary list, sorting that, and then deconstructing the list. It's a mini master-class. On Sunday, September 6, 2020 at 5:45:35 AM UTC-4 amreus wrote: > Heh, thank.
