No, SortList () is for list arrays. Sort() is for standard arrays. It never
crashed here (worked no problem), but it has crashed with some other users of my
program. I don't know why, but the best thing seemed to be to write my own
routine, which as I said, turned out to be a fair bit faster than the Blitz one,
anyway, and only took � dozen lines of code.
