It's not clear from the doc string for SORT, but it won't treat a string as records made up of characters. But never fear, you can use PARSE/ALL x "^/" to split your string into a block of records (or just build it up that way initially), sort that block, and then rebuild the string or use WRITE/LINES to save it. -- Gregg -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
