OK, so it's not that new - it was added in 6.1 :-)
filter now allows you to specify a "target container", e.g.
filter myVar with "*.livecode" into tStacks
Would it be a reasonable enhancement request to allow not just "into",
but also "after" and "before" ?
e.g.
put files() into t
filter t with "*.jpg" into tFiles
filter t with "*.jpeg" after tFiles
etc.
btw - if you are hopeful and just try the "after variant", it doesn't
give you an error - it simply ignores the "after targetContainer" part,
and filters the source container. Seems to me that's a bug - anyone
agree and I'll enter it as such ?
