Before I go ahead and script something complex,
I'm wondering if Rev already has a built-in way of
doing the following sort.
Given a list of 2-item lines, such as
a 1
d 3
c 3
c 2
a 3
d 2
a 2
c 1
d 1
I'd like the list to be sorted by item 1,
and, in the case of lines with the
same item 1, sorted by item 2, thus:
a 1
a 2
a 3
c 1
c 2
c 3
d 1
d 2
d 3
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Just two successive sorts seem to do the trick.
This script assumes that the source data shown above is in field 1, and
you want the output shown in field 2:
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into tData
sort lines of tData by word 2 of each
sort lines of tData
put tData into fld 2
end mouseUp
