I believe it’s sorted (forgive the pun) As the data is stored in an SQLite db I have used the db to sum the values then worked from the top. Like below.
This results in approx. 20ms for each sort direction. I have looked into a running total calc using SQLite but the solutions I found seemed rather complicated. Sometimes asking for help then presents a solution. Thanks Terry if tOrder is "desc" then put dbGetAmountForAccount (pAccountName) into tBalance repeat for each line tRec in tData put tBalance into item 7 of tRec put item 6 of tRec into tAmount subtract (item 6 of tRec) from tBalance put tRec & CR after tCellData end repeat delete last char of tCellData else repeat for each line tRec in tData add item 6 of tRec to tBalance put tBalance into item 7 of tRec put tRec & CR after tCellData end repeat delete last char of tCellData end if > On 29 Mar 2020, at 14:20, Brian Milby via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Is there a key that you can use to sort?
