And that's because it's been set to do that... a BASIC sort is done by ASCII code where Uppercase letters have lower ASCII numbers than the Lower case and that's how it sorts... high to low.

Since humans actually prefer a different method then the sort method is tweaked to give the results you see on your Win XP machine but I thought you were talking about your reader computer not your computer computer!!
