The Profiler has two "modes".  The default mode is memory profiling.  Less
obvious is performance profiling which is what you want.  I don't have
time right now to find a link to better instructions, but IIRC the general
idea is:

1) start the profiler
2) At the dialog, choose the performance option AND the memory option
3) Just before you do the sort, find the "Clear Samples" button and hit it.
4) Do the sort
5) Take a performance profile (not a memory snapshot).

If you have trouble interpreting the results, post a link to a screenshot
of what you see.  I won't be back at a computer for about 15 hours.  You
should be able to find prior emails from me helping others on the internet.

HTH,
