My guess:
Try using "the effective foregroundColor of each" - that will cover your
bases when there is no assigned foregroundColor.

Anyone know why this fails?
on mouseUp
sort lines of fld 1 numeric by sum(the foregroundColor of each)
end mouseUp

Hi Francis,
I haven't tried this but it might work.
put the htmlText of fld x into myHtml
put char 4 to -5 of myHtml into myHtml
set the itemDel to ">"
sort lines of myHtml by item 1 of each
set the htmlText of fld x to "<p>" & myHtml & "</p>"
If this doesn't work, it might at least give a clue of how to handle
this kind of problems.

Hi from Beautiful Brittany (where, finally, it is raining),
I have a list in a field, with backgroundcolor of some lines red, some yellow.
Does anybody know how to sort the lines to separate out the two colours ?
I can do it using a shuffle mechanism, but it’s not elegant enough (:>) !!
The sort container command doesn’t give me the impression that this is a
one-liner …….
He who uses the least lines of code will gain my immediate admiration ……
