Sorting cards

[J. Landman Gay]

I'm still not having much luck with this. Everything works as expected except that the first 50 
cards or so simply don't move. I can't find anything different about them that would explain it.

Anyone out there have an inclination to take a look and find what I'm missing? There's nothing 
confidential about the stack.
