Re: Sorting cards problem solved

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

Hope I didn’t come over as sarcastic!  Not at all.  

It all took me back to HC days and my astonishment at how powerful and fast 
searching and marking cards was…  I was eagerly following the thread to learn 
more.

I know this topic has taken over the list, and it's probably run its course now so you can 
breathe easy. The last puzzle remains unsolved, though I got a couple of tips from someone 
about trailing carriage returns in the title field.

If I sort by Category (after adding the two fields to the first two cards as Alex suggested) I 
see the following sort order:


card id 9181
card id 9182
card id 9183
card id 7908

(all with a category of "Vegetable".



7908 isn't right either. I get:

card id 9181
card id 9182
card id 9183
card id 9184

"Zweibelwähe" is not a german word. :-)


Must have been the client's typo, it's that way in the stack. You know us Americans, we think 
everyone should only write in English. ;)

Is this -> "Zweibelwähe" supposed to be a german dish with/from onions?
If yes, then it is called -> Zwiebelwähe (Zwiebel = onion in german)

"Zweibelwähe" is not a german word. :-)

Right, Zweibelwähe should be last, and other Parsley recipes are in the Ps 
inside the Vegetable category. Just not this one.

  - sort by title -- okay
  - sort by category -- Last card is wrong. Others are okay.


What counts as the "last" card? Is that card id 9183 "Zweibelwähe"?

Re: Sorting cards problem solved

There seems to be some interest in the recipe content, or maybe the puzzle, given the number of 
downloads. At any rate, if you downloaded already, please replace the Sort button with the 
revised script:


on menupick pWhich
  put the last word of pWhich into tFld
  sort cards by the short id of this cd -- import order; keep first 13 cards at 
front
  mark cds where there is a fld "category" and fld "category" <> empty -- real 
recipes only
  sort marked cards by field tFld
  if the num of cd "index" <> 1 then
set the num of cd "index" to 1
set the num of cd "eggsaver" to 2
  end if
end menupick

Or if you want a fixed version, it's here for a week:


And...the client is pleased but noticed it all sorts very nicely except for the last card, 
which is in the correct category but out of alphabetical order. Anyone care to figure out why?


   - sort by title -- okay
   - sort by category -- Last card is wrong. Others are okay.

BTW, I tried Alex's suggestion of adding Title fields to the first two cards but LC hung until 
I hit Cmd-period. But Mark Wieder says it worked for him. I'm staring blankly.

Those who have never used The Ancient Xtalks may not know about the mark command. I used it all 
the time back in the dark ages but didn't think the solution would be so obvious. Mark Wieder 
jogged my memory.


So, duh. I hope I'm not kidding myself.

There's one day left before the link I posted expires. I've tagged 20 recipes I want to try. 
You might like to do that too. The client doesn't mind, he wants to share the stack with the 
world and is debating whether to fund a standalone so people won't have to install LC.
