Hey Guys,
I know this may seem overly simple for most of you, but I am new to this stuff. Anyway I need to know how to ad additional sorting options to an existing file. How is this achieved (if there is a tutorial like that would be appreciated, otherwise just post a respoinse and it would be helpful). Matt "Bofdar" McDonough ------------------------ Yahoo!

Thanx for the response to my question. I have downloaded the authoring kit and have been studying it (somewhat). But as I said I am new to this and it is a little overwhelming at first glance.
To answer your questions I am modifying the Star Trek entries (which are not updated as often as I would prefer). I am trying to add the ability to sort out White Border editions. They are distinctified in the card entries but the sorting option does not appear.

It could be just a matter of making the tag group visible so that it can be
filtered on by the user. This would be controlled in the definition file with the specification of the tag group. But since I don't know the Star Trek files, I can't be sure. How is the white border indicated for each card within the data files? I assume by a tag of some sort. What is the tag group and what other tags are defined in that group?
