John;
The first question would be why you want to write a list of lines to a field in
FM rather than one text item per record, for which you could use native
FileMaker sorting.
Regarding the sort, I don’t know where you’re getting the quick sort from, but
is it possible it doesn’t recognize the line feeds so it just sees one line,
and therefore does nothing?
