Use the form

-- specify text, numeric, ascending, descending
function mySortFunction singleLineOfList, wholeList
--apply as many rules as you wish
--filter as many times as you wish
--build as many arrays or tables as you wish

Excellent question, and one I only thought of after posting mine!
There would need to be a series of precedence rules, and I don't
know them.
But to simplify, let's say you had unique examples of styled tex,
and t that you wanted to maintain their styles. For example, in
this mini-dictionary I've got 26 (almost) unique headings: A B C
D... etc. bold, larger font, underlined. I want them to maintain
their integrity while adding in a batch of new words. Would it be
possible to sort while leaving alone the htmlText characteristics of
first instance items in a field such as this?

Hi, Mark. What are the rules for handling words that appear with
more than
one style?

I'm using the following script to create a glossary/word list of
all words
appearing in a songbook I'm making in Apple's Pages word processor
(over 2,000
unique words). (Thanks to Phil Davis for his help with arrays.)
What I am wondering is if the formatted text can be retained in a
case like
this, and how. My attempts so far have failed, as the htmlText
tags are
included in the sort... not what I want.) I'd like to be able to
paste in
from the word processor and do the sort while maintaining
formatting (bold,
font, font size), and then be able to take that result and copy
and paste it
back into the word processor.
Am I asking too much?
Thanks
