Hi Booth,

Isn't the field sorted correctly, with the negative numbers first, in
ascending order?

[SNIP]

The OP posted the following order "-2, -4, -7, 0, 1, 4, 6"

If this is ascending order, shouldn't -7 come first? If it's descendingorder, shouldnt 6 come first?

In my later post in this thread (The one where I posted a sample program)I demonstrated that on my system, -7 does (in fact) come first.
