Sorry, that's what I meant when I said Cocoa, I just meant it's Objective-C
ancestry. I get now that the selector is being called on EOSortOrdering, I
thought that message was being sent to the objects being sorted... which are
Strings. As long as the colon syntax is correctly handled then I guess it's
fine. I wasn't really looking for bugs in the files, all I know is that what
I'm trying to do is extremely straight forward and it's not working and when I
saw that, I've done enough mac programming to know that isn't Java. :) So now
that everything there is in order.... Any ideas on what else might cause the
ordering to not work?
Thanks.
