can't sort window.....what?

1. this code does not work, why did Apple break this functionality

tell application "Finder"


activate

set sort column of list view options of Finder window 1 to name column

end tell

2. when I paste in the Applescript code, most of it is off screen so I have to center the text.

did we become MS, its been a while since I posted, now its a nightmare.

Gets the job done.

Drew Reece was inspired to create a bookmarklet as he felt applescript was not the tool for the job.
