Re: [mv] sorting help

******    message to minivend-users from Brian Kosick <briank@nacs.net>     ******

thanks, that helped a little, I have at least the first page of the results 
coming up fine, however, when you go to the next page of results, the sort 
by alphabetic name gets screwed up, on the second page, I get a sort result 
that looks like
C,A,I,G,B  when it should be A,B,C,G,I

Also, on searches done through the glimpse engine, (the initial search box) 
returns products, but, the categories are acting strangely.  as in there 
should be a total of 14 products listed in "Supplies" category, but 6 show 
up on the first page, 2 will show up on the second, and 6 will show up on 
page 5.

The glimpse box also has a hidden input tag that sets the profile to the 
default.
