This is really the same as Mark suggested, but should work even if the numbers aren't zero padded:

function sortByMonthAndDay tText
 set the itemDelimiter to "/"
 sort lines of tText ascending numeric by item 1 of (word 2 of each)
 sort lines of tText ascending numeric by item 2 of (word 2 of each)
 return tText
end mouseUp

(I think Mark probably meant "&" instead of "and")

hi Ben

I still have a problem

some first names have 2 words !!!

and the sort is not correct

Should it be possible to sort on item 2 (tab delim of the list) and reorder the lsit afterwards ??
