After a bit of troubleshooting, I have discovered that the
WordBasic.SortArray command automatically truncates all entries in the array
to 255 characters, upon sorting. So, it now looks like I need to find
another way to sort an array, as the array I am using has a field that will
often be longer than 255 characters. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a lot.
