Reverse a list

He may also have been using a memory resident database. That is what I suggested at the first. To do this, use “memory” as the file name.

I must have missed a thread, somewhere.  That would be the thread on how LC
handles loops.

To recap, doing this sort using an sqlite database (insert the values into
a table, then sort the table), was taking me almost 40 seconds.  Then Pete
chimed in and had it working in a couple hundred milliseconds.

The difference?  Pete was using a loop of the form
repeat for each line tLine in theData

and I was doing a
repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in tData


So, is there some more in-depth discussion of loop forms in LC, somewhere?
I learned something new, today, because 300x faster is a little bit
important.
