Hello Ya'll,
I am trying to sort some tab delimited data by item 1 of each. Item 1 of
each is a name and a number.
Kansas 1
Kansas 3
MO 3
MO 8
Anyhow, when I run the sort as
sort lines of sReportText by item 1 of each
I get it sorted pretty close, but entries with the same name and a
Hi Andrew,
AFAIR, you can pile the sort command one after the other, as:
sort lines of sReportText numeric by item 2 of each
sort lines of sReportText by item 1 of each
HTH.

sort lines of sReportText numeric by item 2 of each
sort lines of sReportText by item 1 of each

Here is a real sample of the most intricate of the data I would be sorting
in that first item.

sort lines of x numeric by word -1 of item 1 of each
sort lines of x by word 1 to -2 of item 1 of each

The following worked for me (with apologies ofr any asterisks that may be
inserted into the script by my email client)
It assumes there won;t be any numbers 6 digits.
*on* mouseUp
*sort* lines of field Field by reformatLine(each)
*end* mouseUp
*function* reformatLine l
*local* tKey
I think this and Geoff's are good! This one is more general if you can come up
with some sort of metric or sortvalue for each item/list. Geoff's is simpler
for this case. The speed difference will depend on the length of the list.
Shouldn't the zero be put 'before' instead of 'after' to
Whoops, I didn't read Peter's solution all the way.
I guessed at what he was doing instead of giving it the attention it deserved.
I guess my thumbs up was for using the sorting value function and for putting
in zero digits.
I would (off the top of my head) simplify (and change) that to
Yes,
Geoff's is definitely simpler, hadn't seen it when I made my post. It did
give me the opportunity to finally use the custom function feature of the
sort command though!
I like the shortcut!
After is right in my code - I put the words into tKey, then the zeros,
then the number. With your
Great minds think alike! That is the same return command I used! Switching to
capital L is a good idea, lower case l is hard to read.
And you are right, I was so caught up in how I wanted to do it, I didn't see
that yours should work, too, based on 'after'.
And you are right, this is a
Interesting -- this works in one line:
sort lines of x by word 1 to -2 of item 1 of each char -10 to -1 of
(00 word -1 of item 1 of each)
I'm a little put off by not using the native numeric -- I'd be worried
that something I'm not thinking of right now would break it. But

You mean like 0x4B?
Or 34.0?
Or E notation?
Or -Inf?

Overall, I'd be inclined to use your solution Geoff - much easier to read
whereas the others are the type of thing where you come back to it in a few
months (or someone else looks at it the next day) and you think what the
hell is that!

Wow, such a plethora of solutions! Thank you. Worked like a charm. I just
wasn't thinking it through clear enough.
