Don't think that's true for the 89. In fact I know it's not. That is
precisely what I am trying to do; sort on secondary list. But it doesn't
work. So, I'm trying to understand how this works.
I have seen the sort order affected by the secondary lists but it is
unpredictable how that order comes out. I have seen a SortD ListA, ListB,
ListC, ListD order differently depending on data and who knows what else.
It's a mystery.
