Movie Magic Screenwriter

Secondary sort order allows you to specify how you want the scenes sorted within the Primary groupings of Interior VS. Exterior, Location, Time-of-Day, or Characters.  For example, Interior VS. Exterior as the Primary sort and Script Order as a Secondary sort would give this kind of breakdown:

EXTERIOR

1  HOSPITAL -- DAY                   1-2        1 1/8

4  PARK -- DAY                       4-4        2/8

5  HOSPITAL -- EVENING               4-5        6/8

                                       --------

      2 1/8

INTERIOR

2  HOSPITAL -- DAY                   2-2        3/8

3  EMERGENCY ROOM -- DAY             2-3        5/8

6  EMERGENCY ROOM -- EVENING         5-5        2/8

                                          --------

      1 2/8

With Location as the Secondary sort, the same document would breakdown with the locations grouped together alphabetically:

EXTERIOR

1  HOSPITAL -- DAY                   1-2        1 1/8

5  HOSPITAL -- EVENING               4-5        6/8

4  PARK -- DAY                       4-4        2/8

                                          --------

      2 1/8

INTERIOR

3  EMERGENCY ROOM -- DAY             2-3        5/8

6  EMERGENCY ROOM -- EVENING         5-5        2/8

2  HOSPITAL -- DAY                   2-2        3/8

                                        --------

      1 2/8
