using a custom property as a sort key ?

[Christopher Mitchell]

Tom,

Hrm, I'll look into this property then provided it can  be 'set' .   I 
would just sort on the card ID number except that I created 4 cards in 
the beginning to test the audio and transport controls, then added the 
other 20+ cards later, after a lot of added/deleted additional cards 
which threw off the numbers.

Yours,
Chris
