|

Why is ability to sort by column:
Code: | LIST SORT,<list>{,<column>} |
reserved for TABLE elements?
Why not make this available to all lists? |

The numbered string lists are internal and invisible which do not support
columns and the native windows list control does not support columns
either. _________________ Bill Weckel

Sometimes I use the lists as simple CSV databases.
So, while the lists items are perhaps columnless (unlike a true array), by inserting delimiters and reading back the data with the PARSE command I can achieve the same effect.
I guess I took it for granted that this was pretty common. |
