Sarah,
Thanks. The sorts are MUCH faster when done in a variable. I'm not
sure of the advantage of storing data in a custom property, but it's
nice to know about. I'm forgetting arrays because now I need do only
one thing to be burning through the data.
I have bird watching PLACES as one item. One is called Elliot and
Cooper Roads. I've been to that street corner hundreds of times, and
since I have seen over 8000 birds there, there are more than 8000
records. I can put all of the records for this street corner at the
top of the field (actually the "top" of the variable).

All I need is have a way to "cut and paste" from the first record for
Elliot and Cooper Roads to the last and leave out the rest of the
places.
Of course, I could write a repeating script that would gobble up the
data a line at a time, but it would take forever. How can I scoop all
the Elliot and Cooper records out of the data in one fell swoop?
If someone could show me how to do this, then I could employ it
everywhere and my flat database would be screamin' fast and I would
stay in Revolution.
I'm almost there!
