This didn't work. Did you mean chartonum(char 1 to 2 of word 1 of  
unicodeString) ?

I see where you're going, but the problem is that none of the  
approaches I've tried sorts upper and lower case properly. Instead it  
sorts on all upper case letters first, then all lower case letters.  
Further, if I sort by any chunk of the line containing a space, it  
sorts the space *after* all other letters.

I may be forced to roll my own sort routine.
