If you post your patch I will take a look and help if I can.

what a mess....

You haven't posted the javascript file from the patch. I'll take a look at it though.

Shoot, you're right. But Luke, I think you gave me the script. It was a replacement for [posit]. it queries the x-y coordinates of an object with a scripting name.

Ah no problems there then. I'll check it out!

Right, here's what I have so far. It is by no means perfect but it does a fair lot and should set you on the right track. Rock'n'roll! If you create some objects by selecting from the [umenu] you can then click on the [inlet] at the top of each [bpatcher] and drag it around the screen. It will try and re-order the [bpatchers] by vertical position each time you release the mouse. At the moment it does this even if the order has not changed and there's no sort of alignment done. There are a few other things you might want to improve, the position where new [bpatchers] are created is relative to the number of existing [bpatchers] which are assumed to all be the standard size, not their actual position on screen. I'll see if I can improve it a bit more but 10 hour days at work might decide otherwise!

Good job. I need to go through some javascript tutorials. What took me a huge messy patch (and didnt work) is accomplished in your script. I really appreciate the help. It works entirely for my purposes..I'll send you the patch it will be incorporated into sometime soon...thanks luke !

Hey Brandon. If your patch managed to survive I'd be interested in seeing what became of it!
