sorting question

[larry at significantplanet.org]

Hello,

I have the following items in a field:

AD, AE, AI, AN, AR, AS, AT, DE, DI, DO, EE, EN, ER, ES, ET, IN, IO, IS, IT, NO, NU, OE, OP, OR, OS, OU, PA, PE, PI, ST, TO, UP, UR, UT, DA, EA, ED, ID, NA, NE, OD, OI, ON, PO, RE, SI, SO, TA, TE, TI, UN, US



You can see that they are not sorted alphabetically.  I have a test button with:

on mouseUp

sort items of field "myField"

end mouseUp

However, the order of the items remains unchanged.  ????????????

I also tried:

sort items of field "myField" text ascending

but it didn't make a difference



Thanks for the help,

Larry
