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 about a slightly less terse description, and an example showing
both "before" and "after" and hopefully we can get you to where you want
....

Subject: Re: sorting
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.

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
