```php

button3.onPress = function(){
	myArray.sortOn(["color"]);
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);
function preloader(){
	var i:Number=0;
	if (i<myArray.length){
		play();
		clearInterval(myInterval);
	}
	eval(myArray*.instance).slideTo(0,i*myArray*.instance._height,1,"easeOutBounce");
	i++;
}

}

```

trying to get something like this to work… click on the button, it sorts the array, then waits a bit moving each item in the array.

i can sort and move the array fine, when i try to add setInterval, it borks… by which i mean, i don’t know what i’m doing at 5am.
