Thanks for replying, Mike! At least I have the best answer available. I
hope my trouble can help others, but I'm not sure - see below.

No - we are still on release 3.11. I am not my own administrator, so I
can't force the issue. I hope that this is not a 'known issue' of 3.11 and
I have been wasting everyone's time. 

I think I'll do the manual sort workaround ( it will only take a few
hours. no big deal) and hold out until my hosts implement 3.14 to test the
sort again. I'll let you know the result.

Thanks again,
