Use the technique of sorting by a function call for each line to set a
value.
on testSort
put the clipboarddata into theListOfFriends
sort theListOfFriends numeric ascending by sortByThisValue(each)
;put theListOfFriends
end testSort
function sortByThisValue singleLineOfList
set the itemdel to "/"
get word 2 of item 1 of singleLineOfList & "/" & item 2 of
singleLineOfList & "/" & "01"
--English system -- remove the next line
get item 2 of singleLineOfList & "/" & word 2 of item 1 of
singleLineOfList & "/" & "01"
convert IT to seconds
return IT
end sortByThisValue
This should do the task you want
