Or the reverse, where the keys are the seconds and the values are the filepaths. Then: put the prefRecentFiles of stack "AppPrefs" into pFileList put the keys of pFileList into keyList sort lines of keyList numeric descending delete line 11 to -1 of keyList set the keys of pFileList to keyList set the prefRecentFiles of stack "AppPrefs" to pFileList So many ways to skin the cat... -- Peter Peter M.
