I think that you cannot sort some lines of a field at all.
Spontaneous thought ;-) :
Try to put the desired lines into a variable, sort that variable
and replace these lines with the variable.
Noone will ever tell the difference :-)

P.S. Of course i couldn't let this mail go out unconfirmed ;-)
This works (just tested):
on mouseUp
put line 2 to 5 of fld 1 into things_to_sort
sort lines of things_to_sort by word 2 of each
put things_to_sort into line 2 to 5 of fld 1
end mouseUp
Luv' MC :-D
