Thanks for sending your test data. I tried it out and could not reproduce the behaviour you described. However, the data does not sort correctly according to the criteria I chose (40, 39, 41, all ascending and case insensitive). I see the same thing happening with the test data I assembled with Excel - 108 columns averaging 12-13 chars per cell, and about 8000 lines.
Do you get a complaint about too few columns with your same test data?
When I remove a large number of columns using Column Wizard - but retain the columns used as sort keys - the data sorts correctly.
I foresee a few long debugging sessions. I'll keep you up to date when I find out what's going wrong.
