Is there any way to get the sort command in Hypertalk to sort
only the cards in a given background, instead of sorting the
whole stack?  I'm writing a simple checking stack, and right
now it's become a _set_ of simple stacks, since I couldn't
figure out how to sort only a single background.

I'm using HC 1.2 on an SE with a 20MB hard drive under Finder.

I checked the Help stack, and it had nothing about this.

Please e-mail me, since I don't read this group regularly enough
to catch everything before it's purged.

Thanks in advance,
