Hi Jonas,

Yep - you're right again.  The column sorting currently uses the 
standard Euphoria sort which I believe does not handle numbers very 
well.  I think somebody else also mentioned this and I am planning to 
use a different sort routine for the next release (probably Andy Serpa's 
natural sort routine) & hopefully also allow user-specified sorts.  
Thanks again for all the feedback!

Progress on the next release slowed to a crawl due to Xmas + Work but 
with a bit of luck I will be able to start making some changes soon.

Regards,

Phil

PS Did you see my reply to your last post (a few weeks ago) about 
loading datasets? Did the workaround work?
