I don't see any way to do this at present, but I'm pretty clueless about AS. You might want to file a feature request so we don't forget about it; sorting author names is fairly complicated. It might also help to know how it fits into your code (I'd assume you have a list of pubs that you want to sort)? Google turned up this: http://www.apple.com/applescript/sbrt/sbrt-05.html which might help in the meantime. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
