Hi Matthias,

Try the following:

set the itemDelimiter to ";"
sort lines of tVariable by item 4 of each

Hope this helped,

Erm, this doesn't seem to work here in 2.8.1 on win
XP. The itemdelimiter appears to be ignored.

Hi Martin,

As the itemDelimiter is a local propert and thus gets
reset at the end of a running handler, you have to run
both lines together from a script, or in the
multi-line section of the message box.

I tested it on MacOSX in Rev 2.6.1 and 2.8.1, and it
worked in both:
- I pasted the example text into a field:
##
320;4999;219;Peter;329;366
3;23;14;Mark;0;0
2;213;13;Josh;215;666
1000;999;10101;Mark;211;555
2;214;25;Peter;212:667
##
- And added a button with the following script:
##
on mouseUp
  put field 1 into tVariable
  sort lines of tVariable by random(10000)
  set the itemDelimiter to ";"
  sort lines of tVariable by item 4 of each
  put tVariable into field 1
end mouseUp
##

When clicking a few times, you may end up with
different results, but the 'Josh', 'Mark' and 'Peter'
lines are still lumped together.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.


Hi Jan,

That's essentially what I did, but I tested it using Matthias' data from his email, which I hadn't noticed has a typo in line 1 - a comma instead of a semicolon.

# compounded operator errors ;-)

# mystery solved anyhow,
