I thought this would work:
sort lines of field X by the backgroundcolor of each
... but it doesn't. I'm guessing because the lines go into some sort of
internal variable to be sorted at which point they lose their
backgroundcolor property.
Here's a handler that does it, offered for improvement by others.
on mouseUp
local tRedLines,tYellowLines,tCounter
put zero into tCounter
repeat for each line rLine in field "Text"
add 1 to tCounter
if the backgroundcolor of line tCounter of field "Text" is 255,0,0
then
put rLine & return after tRedLines
else
put rLine & return after tYellowLines
end if
end repeat
put tRedLines & tYellowLines into field "Text"
set the backgroundcolor of line 1 to (the number of lines in tRedLines)
of field "Text" to "red"
set the backgroundcolor of line (the number of lines in tRedLines)+1 to
-1 of field "Text" to "yellow"
end mouseUp
