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{|}~
