Hi,

Im using this syntax who does the Job so as to sort my Grid
1) By continent and
2) Sort country A/Z within each continent.

Is there any better (1 line?) syntax to achieve the same ?
or
some code that would be faster in case of some very very long list..
as if I added all States Names (worldwide)

(number of countries wont change much)

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   set the dgProps["sort by column"] of group "DGLands" to "CName"
   set the dgProps["sort by column"] of group "DGLands" to "Continent"
end mouseup

Thanks !

This is another way, which I think is faster. I do not believe you can do a simultaneous double sort.

Code: Select all

dispatch "SortDataByKey" to grp "DGLands" with "CName", "text", "ascending", "true"
send "RefreshList" to grp "DGLands"
