It's not mis-sorted until I say it is! :-) cmpHostsFctn is the sort function called by the quicksort.
If you've studied some CS, then you'll understand that quicksorts are sensitive to their pivot points. If you have an unstable compare function (i.e. one where a>b and b>c but a !> c) you'll toast the sort. (I've posted on this extensively in the past). So my suspicion is that there are some NULLs in your tables, and since the function isn't coded to handle them, it's unstable. But the changes I had you make should - if you're running w/ trace level 4+ (required for CONST_TRACE_NOISY) and with the -L option - log enough data to see the actual compares. I posted some sample output in that message too. Until you find the log messages, there's nothing else to do...
