Hello Dave,
Yes, you guessed it correctly.

However I have a new weird thing.
I have a large amount of text - over 10,000 5-ltr words. I can copy and paste the entire text with no problem from one txt document to another via the clipboard. But when I try to paste the entire amount into a LC field (either 6.1.1 or 6.6.3) it will not paste in the whole amount. It seems that a couple of years ago someone told me that LC has some weird limitation on how much can be put into a field at one time. Does anyone know anything about that - or why I cannot paste the entire text into a LC field all at once. I can do pieces and keep going until all of it is in the field.
Thanks,
Larry

Sounds like you've sorted it Larry :)

For others wondering what the cause was, it was likely that the spaces in
each item were confusing things - so if they are removed prior to the sort
it all works fine (they can be put back in after...)

on mouseUp
  replace space with empty in fld fldTest
  sort items of fld fldTest
  replace comma with ", " in fld fldTest
end mouseUp
