Thanks but that is rather arcane! I thought this was a modern tool ;) There's goes another swing-around-that-sand-trap boguey! Would using internet time or the dateitems format work better? great! repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in histo convert (item 1 of line x of histo) to dateitems Result = nothing! convert puts the conversion into it! ;(( a little fix for this second weird thing! Date items now doesn't convert anything before the year 1970! Not in the docs either! Or did I miss that? Not in the limits either! I added a webnote to the rev docs and I guess this means a dozen new functions in XOS to handles these correctly! Since I suppose this wont work with the "seconds" for a "simple" numeric sort, we now have to resort to 3 sorts, one for each date item! Triple the inneficiency here! 6X if you use the time as a factor! ;) This is senility before age! ;) >You will have to do some math, but you are good at that ;-) Im good at math - but I hate to do it for a system / person that is supposed to do it better and faster than me! I tried the usesystemdate but it didn't help. I dont dare use the centurycutoff as it makes things even more confusing! Where does the century start and stop now? I find this a big weakness in view of the rest of the sophistication of our beloved environment! Any stats, history, listing, calendar, etc is affected sooner or later! Any reason why this is still so primitive?
