Does anyone know how to sort in MetaCard. I have a text list in one of
text boxes and it is divided into three fields by colons. How do I go
about sorting this and then being able to export certain fields to certain
other areas.

I've resorted to using the Unix sort in just such a situation. (It
allows specification of fields by arbitrary (single character) field
delimiter).

The itemDelimitter property of MC can be used to change the comma
seperator to ":" so that you can pull the items apart using normal
chunk expressions.
