Check Sorter








JavaScript can sort data based on any field of information. In this example, a checkbook register can be sorted by date, check number, check amount, or paid to person. We're one step closer to online banking... ;-)















































































[ click the buttons to sort by that column ]

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the
script, and copy (type Control-c or Apple-c) the script into a new file in
your text editor (such as Note Pad or Simple Text) and save (Control-s or
Apple-s). The script is yours!!!
