Sorting a large field of data

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi David,

Just a thought:
Do you put your field into a variable before sorting it and put it  
back when processed?
I suspect also that you modify permanently data in the field itself,  
without locking the screen and this might explain a high CPU usage  
when redrawing.
