Also need to know the opposite of #add to subtract a number from a variable.

or tell me how to set a variable to automatically count down every 100 seconds make it go down 1.

The opposite of #ADD var 1 is #ADD var -1

#add blah -1 did the job. thanks for the help tho

This should do the sorting you wanted. The bolded references may need more percent signs added to be valid at the proper time like %%%%2, but I think that the 3 there now should be correct. Be sure to #SAVE before testing this, I have seen %subregex do some wacky things when it is given a bad code.

#ALIAS sortrec {#FORALL %sort(%subregex(%expanddb(@numbers,"|","="),"(\w+)=(\d+)",%concat(%rightback("00%%%2",3)," %%%1"),1) {#SHOW %word("%i",2) %word("%i",1)}}
