Sorting text

[Greg Wills]

Hi All

Has been ages since I have joined this discussion. I am writing a small 
program for a student with Cerebral Palsy who accesses his computer via 
a trackball. He is about to commence a literacy program and I was going 
to knock up a program to enable him to participate.

My plan was to shuffle a sentence and get him to click on words to 
paste the word into another text box in the correct order.

Two questions
1. Does anyone have a similar program - seems no point in reinventing 
the wheel (apart from the fun of it) - that they would like to share.

2. Sorting. I am using the "sort" command to sort the words in a 
container from the text field, but they are not sorting. If I  use a 
few lines of text, then these get sorted, but I was under the 
impression that if the line "sort items of holder" (holder as a 
variable) is used, then the words in a container would be sorted. But 
it is not.

Any suggestions or comments will be greatly received.

cheers
