    Hello Derek and all others,
    
       This program and data is too lengthy to post here.
       
       I will try to cut it down to the important parts.
       
       db[1]={"0888","2485","1476"}
       db[2]={"A1071","A3108","A3011"}
       db[3]={"D0970","D1078","D2530","D1233"}
       
       --Really db[1]=
       --    db[1][1]=number
       --    db[1][2]=title
       --    db[1][3]=prod co.
       --    db[1][4]=cost
       --    etc etc..
       
       --this is all saved and loaded in a binary way using 
       fn = open(file_name, "wb")
       fn = open(file_name, "rb")
       
--I don't think ther is any problem in this because I am loading     and
       reading the
       --right files only the sort is messed up
       
       --the way I read results after sort

    
     setText(aETS[x],length(db[x]))  --the number of files in the data base
     setText(bETS[x],db[x][1][1])    --the first record
     setText(cETS[x],db[x][$][1])    --the last record 
     
     num of records      first record     last record
     --- -- -------      ----- ------     ---- ------
     2514                0888             5105         -- this seems ok now
     2527                A1121            A0985        -- this is wrong
     3164                D1000            D0999        -- this is wrong
