Sorry about the "lack of elegance" of the code. It is a quick adaptation of
an old routine I wrote a long time ago.
Thank you very much, Mr. Rodriguez! That was hardly necessary, but it is
definitely appreciated, and I'm going to print it out both for study,
and for possible future use.
For the moment, and for the immediate issue, we opted to break up the
multi-select field into separate sub-fields in the SQL view, and leave
them unsorted, and I was (thankfully) able to avoid dealing with
variable-length "words" because in this particular case, the only two
multi-select fields in the whole installation had been defined with
maximum code lengths of one character.
