OK, I get that. But then how would a function, something you in particular are fond of, work?

I think it's because when you sort lines, the engine pulls out only the 
actual text of the line for sorting. It isn't looking at the properties 
of the field at all. That's why using htmltext or styledText works, 
because those are just text.
