Thierry,
out of interest, for a lazy day:
Have you ever thought of a sort function of type
sort by replaceText(each,...) ?
Must have a series of really good applications.
For example if one wishes, not for the container, but for
the sort only, to exchange several chars.

Ok, I can't find a way to do it with a single sort.
Therefore your solution 1st or mine adding a
second sort after it.

Hi Thierry,
don't you need a second sort as 'primary' sort?
sort lines of T numer
A slight variation from Hermann's code,
working *only* with ASCII:
sort lines of T numeric by AaZz_sort( each)
function AaZz_sort x
get chartonum( char 1 of x)
if IT > 96 then return ( IT - 96) * 2 + 1
else return ( IT - 64) * 2
end AaZz_sort
I can explain if someone is asking for...
Correction, sorry.

This handles only one case of casesensitivity. Should read:
If the casesensitive is true then
lower(a-zA-Z) is _always_ not equal to upper(a-zA-Z)
If the casesensitive is false then
lower(a-zA-Z

Your approach is to use a sort function, a powerful tool.

Brilliant, thank you. I have tried to fall out of love with LiveCode but it
is hard!
I used HyperCard since pre-release version ;-)

Let me explain a bit more.
You want a sort with co-sort. LC allows this bec
You want a sort with co-sort:
set the casesensitive to true -- secondary sort:
sort myContainer
set the casesensitive to false -- primary sort:
sort myContainer

What you are wanting to do is a recursive function that sorts within each word.
If the first character is all you care about, it would be easy enought to code,
but if *every* character comes into play, the problem becomes grossly complex.
This isn't a sort problem. It's a filing order problem.
Then that is not a sort!

That works in the case I mentioned, but with different letters, All upper
case chars come to top, so I get:
Goodbye
Hello
goodbye
hello
What I need is
Goodbye
goodbye
Hello

Oh right. I forgot about that. Still, I like my way better. ;-)

The "caseSensitive" is a global property. It can be set like any other. if
you do so before the "sort" command, the capital first letters precede the
lower case.

doesn't look like there is a command to do this. Try creating an sqLite
database in memory (or on disk it doesn't matter) called tempdata with a column
called textdata, adding your words/items/lines to the database, then query the
database with select textdata from template order by textdata.
"set the caseSensitive to true" before sorting.
