EZ way to Alphabetizing a List

[-z]

With FP2K, I have a list of Employers hiring located in a table...

Is there an ez way to keep that list in alphabetical order

If not in a tbl, any suggestion how I can do it

Thank you

The easiest way I can think of is to use a script to store an array of the
names and then use the Sort method to sort the names. Alternatively, you
could store the names in a database and sort the table in the database. Not
sure scripting is the friendliest way to do this, but here's a sample
script.

<script language="javascript">

var list = new Array("apples", "oranges", "grapes", "kiwis", "grapefruit",
"pomegranates", "pears");

for(i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
{
document.writeln(list);
}

list.sort();
document.writeln();

for(i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
{
document.writeln(list);
}

</script>

Thank you

This should put me on the right track

I will explore this

Peace

To be honest, Mike, I'm not sure about earlier versions of JavaScript, but I
did find reference info on the Netscape site for sorting arrays, so my guess
is that for most newer browsers (specifically IE, Netscape Navigator, and
Mozilla), the sort method would work.

Lisa,

I don't believe .sort available in all version of the JavaScript is it?

Ms. Wollin:

Hope it isn't too late to ask a Follow Up Qt...

I want to experiment with your JavaScript suggestion

Where do I put it in a page?

Let's say for demonstration purposes, the Title of the Page will be "Sorting
Example" and the body is "blahblah"

As is, all I can see in "Preview" is the code, NOT the results

Thank you

Paste it in HTML view (from Notepad) in the BODY of the page
