>I don't use Code Reference anymore, it's way too slooooow. GoFish is like Code Reference with 100 turbo chargers, and much more flexible. http://vfpx.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=GoFish. And it also supports RegEx, by the way.

CodeRef is still toooo fast. I do tricky regexp on huge folders (multi project search) and it's to fast for a coffee. And it cashes data so second search is much faster. :)
Anyway, regexp does the trick for the set orde to problem. :) If your prefered tool does it, the better.
