sorting a container by multiple items?

[Jim Ault]

I think it will work this way

sort lines of fld "userTasks" by item 2 of each
sort lines of fld "userTasks" by item 15 of each

Seems to work this way

get fld userTasks
sort lines in it by buildSortFld(item 2 of each, item 15 of each)
put it

--this may give a different result than the first method, depending on
numeric, etc.
