I sorted all cards only by random(1000) and after it only by id and the sequence of random did not get change by sorting by id.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>It is not necessary for me, that the second sequence is perfect by id, but I need a sequence that is constantly. Therefore I tried to sort by card number, but as I did not give each card a number, mc numbers them after each sorting new.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>In the field "Seconds" I store the date when the user (me ;-) create or change the card. Now I sort first by fld "Seconds" and after it by fld "Questions" and the sequence keep constant as long as I do not change a card.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Reinhold </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>Am 04.03.2006 um 19:00 schrieb shari:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">I want to sort my cards by field "Question" but there are 5 cards<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">with the same content in this field.</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Any time I sort them, there is another sequence of these three cards.</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Now I want to sort them additional by card id.</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Is it possible to sort them by two sort criterions in one step?</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Reinhold</FONT></P> </BLOCKQUOTE><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Would two steps be awful?<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Try sorting once by id, and then again by<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">fld "Question".<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Two lines of code.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>You are performing two sorts,<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">the first to put the id's in order, and the second to put the cards<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">in order by fld "Question".</FONT></P> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
