Description
The ms processing code sorts an attribute in a sequence specified by the item called seq in the messages file. This is only used on an attribute defined as a sort key; therefore this code must be applied as a correlative (attribute 8) and is not available for use in FlashBASIC.
The seq item must be manually added to the messages file using the suggested format:
| seq | (item-ID) |
| 001 | !"#$%&’()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMN OPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ |
