Sorting should always happens with the data stored in the dgData  
variable. You can confirm this by looking at SortDataByKey which is  
the handler used. If you are seeing unexpected results then there is  
either a bug, data in a format different then you intended or the  
wrong sort type is being used. If you have a stack you can send me  
with some sample data I can take a look.

No problem. I hope you can get it down to two lines too :-)
