Check the thread "Strange results when sorting array with fields" from
about a week back. Travis made some changes to sorting in the presence
of fields that should solve your problem, assuming your fields appear in
the order you want to sort (i.e. you want to sort f1, f2, f3 and not
something like f1, f3, f2).
