Hello again Dmitry,
I managed to get the script working myself, and it works brilliantly. Thank you very much - you've solve a workflow problem that has been bugging me for several years.

Hello Dmitry,
I've copied and saved your script but it doesn't seem to work... there are some issues with closing parenthesis, and a variable it doesn't recognise (currSort).
Any chance you can have a look at it because if it works, you will be doing me an enormous favour.
David
