I have a field I want to sort.
Each line has 4 words.
I want to sort by the first word (ascending) and then do a 2nd sort by the 3rd
word without changing the order of the first word.
Example:
apple box
apple pie
apple zoo
baby blue
baby rattle
baby zoo
etc.
TIA
Larry
sort theList by word 2 of each
sort theList by word 1 of each
sort order is retained in-between commands, that's why it works.

Larry,
can you be more explicit about how it doesn't work ?
Actually, can you explain better what you want to do ? You said you want
to sort by the 2nd and then the 3rd word - but gave an example that
appeared to show sorting by 2nd and 1st - and not even have a 3rd word
in any line.
So how
Hi from Beautiful Brittany,
FAO Charles Szasz,
I hate Adobe Reader, and don’t really go for Preview (except for its useful
options).
I use SKIM (unfortunately this app is Mac Only), great appleScript interface,
and as user friendly as you get.
I open files from a LiveCode script like this :
Hello Alex,
OK, in my previous email I gave some hypothetical data.
In my app I actually have a field where the first word is either Advanced or
Beginner
The 2nd word is a number ranging from 2 to 25, showing how many items.
There are some other words after those, but I'm not concerned about
Way back from 1987, and undocumented everywhere except in the user notes in the
dictionary here, is this;
Multiple stable sorts may be implemented directly by concatenating sortKeys:
sort container by sortKey1 sortKey2 sortKey3...
Sortkey order determines the sorting sequence
So you
Francis,
Thanks so much for your suggestions! I will take a look at SKIM.

Larry,
If I understand right, just change the direction of the second sort to put the
beginners first, this worked for my test:
on mouseUp
sort lines of fld sortField by word 2 of each
sort lines of fld sortField descending by word 1 of each
end mouseUp

Hi Paul,

I very much appreciate that you actually tested it.

I often see the problems posted here as challenges, some I have no chance with

have to do a test first to be sure
I tried Craig’s approach, but with the correct syntax, not the condensed
example he gave. I put your example list into field 1, and had this script in a
button:
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into fld 2
sort fld 2 by word 1 of each word 2 of each
end mouseUp
I then scrambled (manually) the lines
Hi Colin

Sorry, I did miss the numeric sort, it worked with a short example, but using
Colin's test script, this also works:
on mouseUp

I have an absolute need to be able to stick pages in and out of pdf files.
I don't need to change the number of pages; I'll just know that file
realimage.pdf needs to replace page 3 of a pdf I create through livecode's
pdf printing. I'll have 2-3 of these to insert into 30-90 pages of output.
