Sorting Order

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Darren,

I would use a FrameScript solution to do this. It would consist of two
parts.

1) A script would insert markers at each paragraph. Each marker would
contain the number, but with the numbers padded out with zeros. For example,
the markers would be:

    07-01-01
    07-01-11
    07-01-02
    07-11-15
    07-02-03
    07-03-04

Then you would create an Alphabetical Marker List of the specified marker
type. Then, a companion script would quickly strip the leading zeros from
the resulting list document. The scripts could be triggered automatically
whenever you update the book. Clean, easy, and error-free. If you are
interested in a solution like this, please contact me offlist. Thank you
very much.

Hello FrameManiacs,

Using a template, I am sorting an APL list via the paragraph number, the
results are as follows:

    7-1-1
    7-1-11
    7-1-2
    7-11-15
    7-2-3
    7-3-4

I need this:
    7-1-1
    7-1-11
    7-2-3
    7-3-4
    7-11-15

Suggestions? I'd like to be able to use one paratag and somehow set the
order in the APL template reference page.

Thanks!!!
Darren
