Sorting...Is it just me?

[Mark Smith]

I've just spent an infuriating hour trying to figure out the strange 
results of trying to sort a stack using the name of each card as the 
key. Searching the list (with Mark Weiders excellent Archive Search 
stack) has finally solved the problem, but I'm astonished....

Sort cards of stack "aStack" by the name of this card......"THIS 
card"?????

I've been xTalking for more than ten years, and this form would never 
have occurred to me in a million...

I mean, we wouldn't use:
Sort lines of fld "myField" by item 1 of this line
would we? Well of course we can't, quite rightly.
Surely "sort cards of stack "myStack" by name" or "by name of each" 
would be more consistent.
Even the "english-like" nature of transcript is twisted by the current 
form.

Anyone else think this is bizarre?
Rant over...
