All those forum efforts (except Richard's) ignore that the dictionary
entry states that the "sort" command is a stable sort precisely so that
you can do multiple sorts to sort by multiple chunks
Whether you do
sort lines of tText by word 3 of each
sort lines of tText by word 2 of each
sort lines of tText by word 1 of each
or
repeat from i = 3 down to 1
sort lines of tText by word i of each
end repeat
and whether you want to sort by "word i of each" or "item i of each" or
"token i of each" or whatever, the multiple sort commands is the LC
recommended way to perform multi-level sort.

I hate that one cannot edit previous posts here like we can on the forum.
I meant “tabs”. not “tase”.

I am assuming here that there are spaces separating the chars in your list. The
use of “words” will also delimit if those are tase instead of spaces. But the
method is worth exploring…
