A slightly disturbing problem about items

[Rob Cozens]

Hi Dennis,

>Put a comma in front of it ,1,2,3,4,5 and it makes sense.

Put a comma in front of it, and (the number of items of ",1,2,3,4,5") is 
six, not five.

As I see it, the sort command is adding an empty item that does not exist 
in "1,2,3,4,5,".
