I'm stuck and my only reference book is The Complete Hypercard
Handbook.  Not much help, I'm afraid.

Anyway, I have a card with a scrolling field on it.  The field has
a long list of items in it that I would like to sort alphabetically.
It appears that the SORT command just wants to sort CARDS by
something in a field.  I just want to sort the contents of ONE FIELD.

Any suggestions?

Sorry if this is a pretty basic question--I use Hypercard a lot,
but don't need to use fields much.
