Sorting text

[Mark Smith]

Greg, you can certainly sort items, but what an item is depends on  
what the global property "the itemDelimiter" is (it defaults to comma).

So if you want to sort the words in a container, you might try

set the itemDelimiter to space
sort items of tContainer

You can sort lines and items, but I don't think you can sort words.

Best,

Mark
