6.2.40 SortAreas

Syntax:

SortAreas criteria

Example:

SortAreas NGD

Normally, MsgEd TE displays all message areas in the order in that they have been defined in the configuration file and/or in the area files.

With the SortAreas keyword, you can instruct MsgEd TE to sort the areas by certain criteria. The criteria parameter is a string that consists of letters each specifying a sort criterium. The leftmost letter is the most significant. The following letters can be used to define sorting criteria:

N

Sort netmail areas on top, then local areas, then echomail areas.

T

Sort by area tag.

D

Sort by area description.

G

Sort by Fastecho group number.

The meanings of `D' and `T' may vary depending on which area file you imported the area from. T is the true area tag, while D is what you actually see on screen. You will usually wish to use D, because ordering by what you see seems to be more logical than ordering by what you don't see.

The `G' criterium does only work with areas imported from a `Fastecho.cfg' files. All other areas have a group value of 0.
