I have a very simple question, but I didn't find in the forum the answer.

I have a list in a "coll" object with many numbers, the info is related with a record, "how much time people stay in a place"

I have names and times but now I need to show in the screen in order the best 10 times. How can I organize these numbers from big to small?

There is a simple way? or i have to start to check the bigger of the list, take it appart and start again with the next looping until the end?

organize-numbers-from-bigger-to-smaller-list

you can use the "sort 1" message to sort the first numbers; then send "renumber" to get the indices correct and you should be good to go...

if it is the other way around (0, Marry 222; etc) use "sort 2"...

if your coll looks something like this:
0, 555 Harry;
1, 1000 Sally;
2, 222 Marry;

if it is the other way around (0, Marry 222; etc) use "sort 2"...
