How might I sort the clipboard contents and return the sorted result into the clipbord so I can then paste the result into an active document ?

You could use a bubble sort algorithm or similar. Google "bubble sort".

Try something like this:

GCB>tosort
WriteLn>%TEMP_DIR%~tempsort~.txt,result,tosort
Let>RP_WAIT=1
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=2
Run>cmd /c sort %TEMP_DIR%~tempsort~.txt /O %TEMP_DIR%~tempsorted~.txt
Let>RP_WAIT=0
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=1
Readfile>%TEMP_DIR%~tempsorted~.txt,sorted
Put>sorted
DeleteFile>%TEMP_DIR%~tempsort~.txt
DeleteFile>%TEMP_DIR%~tempsorted~.txt

Hope this helps,
Dick

Edit-1
For some reason this would lock up occasionally. I removed the percents (%) from around the "tosort" variable in the second line and also from the "sorted" variable in the ninth line. It seems to function now without locking up.

Sorry if this inconvenienced anybody,
Dick
