I'm not sure about this, but do all the cards have the SAME background
with the SAME fields (I think they were Category and Title?). If you
have mixed backgrounds - I think there may be sort problems sorting on
background fields. Again, this is from memory and I could be wrong.

I'm still not having much luck with this. Everything works as expected
except that the first 50 cards or so simply don't move. I can't find
anything different about them that would explain it.
Anyone out there have an inclination to take a look and find what I'm
missing? There's nothing confidential about the stack.

Thanks for all the ideas, guys. I seem to get the most consistent
results if I sort by the short ID of each card and then follow that
with the sort for category or title. Because the data was imported
from a text file, the original order is the order of the card IDs.
What threw me originally is that some cards don't sort in the order I
expect. A category that starts with B is sorted before a category
that starts with A. I assume the categories retain their original
order when they collect matching cards. A few cards with blank
categories sort to the front (good) but when sorted by title they
remain at the front even though the titles all start with "The".
That's okay because they are summary cards that should be at the
front, but I'm not sure why they stay there during an alphabetical
title sort instead of moving to the Ts. I didn't find any leading
spaces or invisible characters.
