Hi,
This is a similar problem as in the "Silly sort question" thread
Adapt Jacques' excellent solution like in:
on mouseUp
### adapt to taste
### sortbydate(item xx of each)
### numeric ascending or descending
sort lines of fld 1 numeric by sortbydate(each)
end mouseUp
function sortbydate pDate
replace word 1 of pDate with word 1 of pDate && "1," in pDate
convert pDate to seconds
return pDate
end sortbydate
Greetings,
Wouer

I have a field containing several items including one for month/

Oct 2005
Apr 2005
Feb 2004
Jan 2006
Apr 2005
Aug 2005
Is there any clever way to get these lines sorted chronologically?
What I've been doing so far is generating a real date from them:
Oct 1, 2005
Apr 1, 2005
etc.
in a hidden item and sorting that.
This works but I'm betting there's a way to do a custom sort
thingee that works directly from the original values. But so far
I've come up with nada. Any clever ideas?
