Sorting by another field.
Parallel sort question
Is there an easy syntax for using the sort lines to do parallel sorting
There is nothing built-in, but I've used this:
local lKeyData, lLineCounter
on sortBy keyField -- parallel sorting of linked flds
put fld keyField into lKeyData
put "data1,data2,data3" into dataFields -- fill in your fld names here
repeat with i = 1 to the number of items of dataFields
put 0 into lLineCounter
sort lines of fld (item i of dataFields) by key()
end repeat
end sortBy
function key
add 1 to lLineCounter
return line lLineCounter of lKeyData
end key
