Nicolas, this might a good case for using a custom sort like:
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into tData
sort lines of tData dateTime by toDate(word 2 of each)
put tData
end mouseUp
function toDate pStr
replace "." with "/" in pStr
return pStr
end toDate
Best,

Still avoiding thinking too much...
Given this list (a ref-number followed
by a dot-separated date):
bg2334 12.21.09
bg9788 1.10.02
bg6554 11.30.11
bg8902 6.6.04
bg4021 2.29.12
bg1210 1.2.02
bg3008 12.3.09
bg5526 5.29.04
what sort-command combo would
re-order it ascending by the date
to become:
bg1210 1.2.02
bg9788 1.10.02
bg5526 5.29.04
bg8902 6.6.04
bg3008 12.3.09
bg2334 12.21.09
bg6554 11.30.11
bg4021 2.29.12
Note that the ref-number and the date
are space-separated, and I'm using
"." instead of the english date's "/".
Also, the date form is "month[1-12,
no leading zero], day[1-31], year [00-
09, leading zero].
I'll be experimenting on my own to hit on
the magic combination, but in the meantime
I thought I'd post a plea since someone is
very likely to reply a solution sooner than I
can guess one up.
Thank you.
