Thank you for the explanation DMG, you are correct it is a String. I will look into changing that.

Hi DMG, I have been without any luck to get this to sort correctly, so I changed the ascending to false and that works, but of course I can't find how to change the attribute 'date' from a string. I changed it in Attributes to a Date but of course many errors pop up ( Cannot assign value of type 'Date?' to type 'String?') I read somewhere but cannot find it on how to convert a 'date' String to use for sorting? Any thoughts on where to find an article I can read. Thanks for any help. Drew

Thank you Claude I am going to try now, ill get back to you.

After moving to handler, I now get an error Closure captures 'deleteActions' before its declared (pointing to the closure after handler:

fixed before its declared issue , but it still populates the deleted row after re-opening.

Thank you Michaela, I will try this out when I get back tonight. I appreciate your time. Andrew

Hi Michaela, It is sorted by the highest (first)day number. They sorted like below: Mar 9, 2022 Mar 8,2022 Mar 7, 2021 Mar 6,2022 Mar 5, 2022 Mar 4, 2022 Mar 3, 2022 Mar 26, 2022 Mar 26,2021 Mar 23, 2022 Mar 11, 2022 etc... I did not know where to put the 'public' on the var realDate, so I left it out. maybe that is the issue? Thanks again, Drew

I do have the final return it is further down after one more "if". } } } if textField ==Age { return !(textField.text!.count > 2 && (string.count) > range.length) } Return true }
