Fantastic, thank you. The more eyes, the better. Look for an email. :)

I hadn't thought to collect the IDs and titles (title sort seems to work, it's the categories that fail.) But I did look at the original export text file for anomalies and couldn't find anything. I can try your suggestion.

Suggestions (that you may have tried already :-) :

1. loop through the cards: put the short ID of this card & TAB & field "title" ... after myVariable

then try sorting the items of myVariable.

That might tell you whether there's something odd in or about the fields, or whether it's card-specific.

2. Take advantage of the stable sort.
   For those cards that shouldn't move, add a specific custom property / value.
   Then, after sorting the way you want the cards, do an additional
      sort cards descending by myNewProperty
  to move those not-to-be-moved ones to the front, and leave all the others in their proper order.

Or, feel free to email the stack to me off-list and I'll poke at it.
