Custom properties and custom property sets should have 1-word names.

Somewhere in the docs it says otherwise, but having a space in the name
of a custom property caused me trouble at one point, which was fixed
when I made sure it just had a single-word name.

That's no problem, I name properties in that way out of habit, and I have one eye on using MySQL at some point in the future. Sticking to single-word names is one of the basics for working with MySQL. (So basic that even *I* know about it! ;-)


The internal order in which keys are stored in a custom prop is not
sorted alphabetically

Oh boy...


so, if you need to search in order, you might be
better off doing something like this:

Set the custompropertyset of me to "scheduledItems"
Put the customkeys of me into tKeys
Sort tKeys
Repeat for each line L in tKeys
  If the scheduleditems[L] of me contains "my search string" then
    Do whatever it needs to do
  End if
End repeat

I'll experiment. Thanks very much for this heads-up, it could well have prevented me from nose-diving into the weeds! Any other comments will be extremely welcome if anyone has the time and energy to add 'em.
