Time for action – making the home card buttons work

The Sort by Location button's script is quite something. You should look forward to that! First, we'll start with the Sort by Time button:

1. Edit the script of the Sort by Time button on the first card.

2. Type in the following short handler:

   on mouseUp
     global gReminderData
     set the itemdelimiter to tab
     sort gReminderData numeric by item 4 of each
     showdata
     writedata
   end mouseUp

   Note

   LiveCode's sort command is powerful and in the preceding case, it sorts the list of reminders based on the notification seconds value. Once the lines are sorted, the list is recreated for the user to see and the text file is rewritten.

3. Get mentally prepared and then edit the script of the Sort by Location button.

4. Type in all of the following lines of code:

   on mouseUp
     global gReminderData
     mobileStartTrackingSensor "location", true
     put mobileSensorReading("location", false) into tLocation
     mobileStopTrackingSensor "location"
     set the itemdelimiter to comma...
