I’m trying to set up a sort of a stack of address cards by zip code. Some of the zips are only the first 5 numbers and some of them are in the form “xxxxx-xxxx”.

The script, “sort cards numeric by field "zip"“ sorts all the 9 number zips first, then sorts the 5 number zips-- not what I want.

Untested but worth a try:

set the itemDelimiter to "-"
sort cards of this stack numeric by item 1 of field “zip”

I wonder if 'sort cards text by field "zip"' would do what is needed. I would think it would sort like this:

00234
00234-1234
00235
