I'll need to take a closer look because you would think it should work --
but I need to make sure the custom sort is doing exactly what you are
looking for.

thanks Terry for the quick reply!
that's what I figured as far as the 863s sorting by "human sort" - but when
I exclude just the 863s from sorting by using the Custom Sort function, do
you know why the 949s don't get "sorted" (i.e., why they don't all move to
the end of the record rather than staying interfiled with the 863s...)
I'm hoping that's possible... :)
cheers,
