Ryan,
Happened to notice your question....
Not sure why you would see such a problem just on IIS.
So you are basically merging the contents of a set
of files, then sorting them in reverse order?
What do the input data files look like? Make sure that
it's all the same datatype.
Put a probe in front of your file-contents line to make
sure it's what you think it is.
Also, have you considered removing the sort from the
foreach loop? May buy you some performance if you
put it after the loop. (But, that should not be the
cause of the problem.)
