Datagrid form - sorting?

[John Burtt]

Malte,

try this:

##  if the timeStamp is a number
put "numeric" into theSort

or,

##  if the timeStamp is a date and time
put "date and time" into theSort

dispatch "sortDataByKey" to group "dataGrid" with  
"timeStamp","theSort","descending","false"

"timeStamp" = the key to sort by
"theSort" = the sort type
"descending" = the direction
"false" = whether or not the sort is case-sensitive

Cheers, John
