I have created 'teams' that have three seperate attributes of information linked to them. They are record, team points, and team ranks. I need to be able to do a nested sort by record, then points, then ranks. The higher points the better, and the lower the rank the better. In other words, one part must be ascending and the other descending. I can list the attributes in a text field seperated by commas. I am looking for an XCMD or an XFCN that is share ware or public domain. Something along the lines of: sort(textfieldname,a,a,d) where a and d mean ascending and descending respectively. If anyone knows of any stacks available I would appreciate the help. Thanks Frank Myers e-mail:myers@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
