Here 'the number of items' is correct, it is 'sort' which breaks 'trailing delimiter rules'. Here are the anomalies we currently know about where the engine does not follow the rules correctly:

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14874 - revDBQueryList
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14875 - put x into item n of y
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14876 - delete item x of y
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16588 - sort breaks trailing delimiter rules

A trailing delimiter *should* always be ignored by the engine.

A trailing delimiter *should* only be necessary if your string-list might contain empty elements.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
