It is pretty simple actually, and here is an example.
Let's say one list you have last names, in another, their telephone numbers
in the same order. You need to keep two separate lists, but you would like
both sorted to the same order, according to the last names.
After getting some sleep, I realized you were talking about parallel
sorts. Dick's way is much cooler than what I've always done, which uses
a custom sort function:
** Parallel sort ***
local lKeyData, lLineCounter
on sortBy keyField -- parallel sorting of linked flds
put fld keyField into lKeyData
put "data1,data2,data3" into dataFields -- fill in your fld names here
repeat with i = 1 to the number of items of dataFields
put 0 into lLineCounter
sort lines of fld (item i of dataFields) by key()
end repeat
end sortBy
function key
add 1 to lLineCounter
return line lLineCounter of lKeyData
end key
This sorts lines, but the idea is the same. I like Dick's better.
