I know this should be possible, but I'm having a heckuva time getting
it to work.
I want to sort some data that looks like this when it comes out of
the database, put into variable tRawData (the white spaces are tabs;
the random characters are unicode data, waiting to be uniencoded into
a field):
26 ба´бушка grandmother Ба´бушка живёт у нас

Another variable, lSortOrder, contains the order I want the lines to
appear:
259,26,110,111,272,314,149,250,54
I read the dictionary entry for 'sort container' carefully, and found
a couple of sample scripts for similar things from old use-rev
postings. This is what I came up with, but it didn't do what I want.
I think it boils down to my not understanding how to create custom
sort orders.
local lCount,lSortOrder
on updateList
## sort the rawLessonData by item 1 of each line, according to the
term list
put the rawLessonData of fld "vocablist" into tRawData
put "59,26,110,111,272,314,149,250,54" into lSortOrder
put 0 into lCount
sort lines of tRawData by termOrderSort(each)
-- do stuff with the sorted list
end updateList
function termOrderSort
add 1 to lCount
return item lCount of lSortOrder
end termOrderSort
Can anyone advise me?
