I have this code below and would like to know where and how i would alter it to have the menu reference horizontally and not vertically. I think it has something to do with “SortByVertical” and i changed it to “SortByHorizontal” but this just gave a strange result. I need to do this becuase i will be adding a scrolling text box and using it vertically does not work for the scroll bars… Thanks again for any suggestions,
