1) this is actually not possible because of the build up of the TEXT object.
2) String arrays are always shown in the correct sort. Maybe check txt_setvisible / invisible

A small addition:
The first question can be realized with the new txt_create command:

Code:

---

var Txt_Array[20];
TEXT* txt_pointer;
//...
var a = 0;
while(a < 20)
{
   Txt_Array[a] = handle(txt_create(1,1));
   a += 1;
}

//...
txt_pointer = ptr_for_handle(Txt_Arrray[0]); 
txt_pointer.font = font;
