Sort items in a qm folder

[r0n]

Not really important but if someone has a script that sorts the items in a QM folder and is willing to post it here, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Dear r0n, I have written such a script, I can send it right now to you. However, (a) I do not like it because it is slow (b) It calls a few localised to my PC QM items. I can rewrite the script to be PC-independent. It will need about 1 day. Please let me know accordingly. Regards, ssimop.

You may try the following script, and please let me know if you have any questions and/or comments.

Function QM_Items_Sort_Fo

Code:

if !i; err "Error"; ret
sfol0.getmacro(q.folderid 1)

if(!GetQmItemsInFolder(sfol &a 1)) end "failed" ;; attention : a contains all level folders

Thank you very much for this!
It seems to be missing "Task_Message", could you include it?

Take your time, no haste.

But this will be very usefull for me, I need to reorder a lot of folders within my QM.

I am happy that it proves useful to you. I am sorry I missed to replace Task_Message by an "out" statement. Anyway, I attach herewith Task_Message. Regards.

Function Task_Message

I replaced the taks function with a simple out and it works! The t

The Task_Message function has some componentes/variables missing:
ideb
TMtext
NowT
TaskM
sw_task
TaskMFo
fTask
fTaskB
fTaskC

But if you replace the task_message function with a simple out, then it works perfectly
Thank you again.

For other users wanting to use this function:

1. Create new function 'QM_Items_Sort_Fo' in QM and copy contents from above 'QM_Items_Sort_Fo' into newly created function
2. You do not have to modify above function 'QM_Items_Sort_Fo' it is already corrected (you see below 'out _s')
3. To properly run this function you can do 2 things
    option 1: Drag the newly created QM function 'QM_Items_Sort_Fo' to a toolbar
    option 2: Assign a hotkey trigger to the newly created QM function 'QM_Items_Sort_Fo'
4. To use this function
   If you have a folder called 'abc' and want to re-order contents within folder 'abc' then select an item within 'abc' then run this function
   (By pressing the hotkey OR clicking it on the toolbar, depending on what you chose in step 3)

Thank you ssimop!!!
