Array's awry

[RossG]

I have an array:

1 2
2 2
3 1
4 1
6 1
8 1
11 1

but when combined I get

2,1,2,1,1,1,1.

What's up Doc?

Hi.

Not sure what exactly what you did, but step through this and write back.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "2" into myArray[1]
   put "2" into myArray[2]
   put "1" into myArray[3]
   put "1" into myArray[6]
   put "1" into myArray[8]
   put "1" into myArray[11]
   combine myArray with return and comma
   sort myArray numeric by item 1 of each
end mouseUp

Note that unless you sort in the clear, an array has no obligation to maintain any order at all, regardless of how you assemble that array.

A bit befuddled this morning I forgot what I
knew about this subject but as the mist lifted
I realized that I had to do a bit of coding to
get the result I wanted.

So much to learn, so little time.

Thanks for taking the time.
