Craig, yeas.
Tony, no. The demos work on nested flat sequences, which you apparently 
do not have. Those 0 and 1 in the example above are atoms. Half your fields 
are empty. I don't know what you sorted them by, where's the code you used 
to attempt it?

What you posted above is NOT what you posted in your first enquiry:

> {{"tony","nsw","Australia"},{"George","qld","Australia"},{"Mary","ca","USA"}}
> ie: how do I sort by state or country

To compare your complaint that sorttok didn't work, this is what you seem to 
have tried:

{{"tony","nsw","Australia","","","",1},{"George","qld","Australia","","","",1},{"Ma
ry","ca","USA","","","",0}}

And i would have said that i hadn't tried sorting atoms before, and no one had 
asked before. But i still don't know what you did.
