Hi Paul,
That is essentially what I did, but not as elegantly as your solution.
But it works and it is very quick, so I'm happy.
Thanks very much for helping me see an even better way.
Larry

Larry,
This should work…
put line 7 to -1 of fld myStats into tLinesToSort
sort lines of tLinesToSort by word 2 of each
put tLinesToSort into line 7 to -1 of fld myStats
You can only sort all Lines or Items of a container, so if you need to sort
specific lines or items, you must put them into a separate container to do
the sort, then replace them.

Hello,
I am trying to sort lines 7 through the last line of a field.
This doesn't work:
sort lines (7 to last) of field myStats by word 2 of each
Does anyone know the code that will work?
Thanks, Larry
