How to sort cards by two sort criterions?

[Reinhold Venzl-Schubert]

Hi Shari, hi Klaus,

I tried both way:

1. sort cards by id and after it by fld "Question"
2. sort cards by fld "Question" and after it by id
There is no difference.

I found that mc cannot execute sort by id. I sorted all cards only by  
random(1000) and after it only by id and the sequence of random did  
not get change by sorting by id.

It is not necessary for me, that the second sequence is perfect by  
id, but I need a sequence that is constantly. Therefore I tried to  
sort by card number, but as I did not give each card a number, mc  
numbers them after each sorting new.

In the field "Seconds" I store the date when the user (me ;-) create  
or change the card. Now I sort first by fld "Seconds" and after it by  
fld "Questions" and the sequence keep constant as long as I do not  
change a card.
