sorting html text with arrays

[Ray Horsley]

Mark,

Are you familiar with setting the htmlText of a field?  (I've posted a few
questions to this list myself recently regarding various aspects of this
feature.)  You might try making an entire card for each word, set the
htmlText of a field in it to your html, sorting the cards by some
criteria-perhaps another field with other data in it, and then getting the
htmlText of each field in the new order of the cards.

Hope this helps,

Ray

Subject: sorting html text with arrays

I'm using the following script to create a glossary/word list of all words
appearing in a songbook I'm making in Apple's Pages word processor (over
2,000 unique words).   (Thanks to Phil Davis for his help with arrays.)  

What I am wondering is if the formatted text can be retained in a case like
this, and how.  My attempts so far have failed, as the htmlText tags are
included in the sort... not what I want.)  I'd like to be able to paste in
from the word processor and do the sort while maintaining formatting (bold,
font, font size), and then be able to take that result and copy and paste it
back into the word processor.

Am I asking too much?

Thanks
Mark
