 ST> Before using the sort command you need to mark the text you want sorted
 ST> with the Column Block (Alt-K).  Put the cursor at the beginning of the
 ST> text to be sorted and type Alt-K, then press the End key to move the 
block
 ST> to the end of the line. Use the Down Arrow and/or Page Down key to move
 ST> the block down while watching for lines that are longer than the first
 ST> line, using the End key again if you need to widen the block. At the end
 ST> of the text you want to sort, type Alt-K again to mark the end of the
 ST> block. Then, if you didn't change the key assignments that are in
 ST> qconfig.dat, type shift-F3 to sort. It will only sort text marked with 
the
 ST> column block, not the line block or the 'markbegin/markend block.
 Ah!! Thank you very much! No wonder it never worked for because I always
 used the mark begin/mark end block thinking as long as the text was
highlighted I could sort it. I will try the column block.
 Does the column block have any restrictions on how it sorts or does it have
limitations?
Sincerely,
