Here's the situation. I have a text file on my desktop (Mac) and am reading it to a field on a card. The data that it reads consists of a name and a number separated by a dash ( for example, Dave - 100) I was wondering if there is a way I could sort the list so the highest number is at the top?

Many thanks
