SpookMeister 2 Report post Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) You might put the string into an array character by character, then sort the array with _ArraySort then put it back into a string.Edit... like gafrost just sugested Edited December 12, 2005 by SpookMeister [u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible.
