That's pretty much the way. I would create a separate list and perform the
sort command on it. Wait a minute...
... Ok, I thought this sounded familiar. I have a VERY simple example
called SortNames at
http://www.mboyd.com/director
The on sortEm handler stores the names in a separate unsorted list so that
we can maintain the original positions should we need to get other data
from the main list. A temporary list is sorted then extracted via Lingo
much like your example and placed in the field.
It may not be exactly what you need, but could spark some ideas for you.
