I tried pasting fields “intakeSecs" and “patient name” onto card 1. The following odd result occurred,

--sort cards numeric by field  “intakeSecs”

Now works from card 1.

—sort cards text by bg field "patient name”

Still doesn’t work from card 1. I checked pretty carefully. The name of field "patient name" is spelled correctly, and the properties of the two fields are identical.

Wheels within wheels.
