There seems to be some interest in the recipe content, or maybe the puzzle, given the number of
downloads. At any rate, if you downloaded already, please replace the Sort button with the
revised script:
on menupick pWhich
put the last word of pWhich into tFld
sort cards by the short id of this cd -- import order; keep first 13 cards at
front
mark cds where there is a fld "category" and fld "category" <> empty -- real
recipes only
sort marked cards by field tFld
if the num of cd "index" <> 1 then
set the num of cd "index" to 1
set the num of cd "eggsaver" to 2
end if
end menupick
Or if you want a fixed version, it's here for a week:
<https://www.dropbox.com/t/icSZGckteBUq0gZf>
And...the client is pleased but noticed it all sorts very nicely except for the last card,
which is in the correct category but out of alphabetical order. Anyone care to figure out why?
- sort by title -- okay
- sort by category -- Last card is wrong. Others are okay.
BTW, I tried Alex's suggestion of adding Title fields to the first two cards but LC hung until
I hit Cmd-period. But Mark Wieder says it worked for him. I'm staring blankly.

Well, it was an interesting puzzle. The "mark" property has come up before but I didn't think
it through enough. This seems to work:
put the last word of pWhich into tFld -- popup menu with fld names
sort cards by the short id of this cd -- import order; keep first 13 cards
at front
mark cds where there is a fld "category" and fld "category" <> empty -- tag
real recipes only
sort marked cards by field tFld -- "category" or "title"
Those who have never used The Ancient Xtalks may not know about the mark command. I used it all
the time back in the dark ages but didn't think the solution would be so obvious. Mark Wieder
jogged my memory.
So, duh. I hope I'm not kidding myself.
There's one day left before the link I posted expires. I've tagged 20 recipes I want to try.
You might like to do that too. The client doesn't mind, he wants to share the stack with the
world and is debating whether to fund a standalone so people won't have to install LC.
