It worked in World of Warcraft, I don't see why it wouldn't work in BYOND.

Works great for short text strings. Doesn't work for anything too long - for some reason it doesn't sort everything properly and clicking the Up arrow will just take you to the top of the log.

Thanks for the link! It's about time to have client-side processing. This will bring new possibilities on BYOND. I'm looking forward to it!
