extremely weird and frustrating...

[Mark Schonewille]

John,

There's no need to use a repeat loop:

on mouseUp
    put fld 1 into myList
    set the itemDel to colon
    sort lines of myList numeric by item 2 of each
    sort lines of myList numeric by item 1 of each
    put myList into fld 2
end mouseUp

--
Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
