Applescript question

[Richard Sandilands]

Hi there

I'm wanting to use applescript to re-arrange an outline from this (where
the children are topics and the project is set via a pop-up list in a
second column):

-------------------------
Parent A
    - child A       project X
    - child B       project Y
    - child C       project X
    
Parent B
    - child D       project Y
    - child E       project Y
    - child F       project X
-------------------------

to this:

-------------------------
Project X
    - child A       parent A
    - child C       parent A
    - child F       parent B
    
Project Y
    - child B       parent A
    - child D       parent B
    - child E       parent B
-------------------------

The resulting outline does not need to have the second column operative
as a popup list: it is sufficient to have those values as text.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Richard
