'Priest (120:129)' is in one column, so the 6th column is correct for sorting that particular column, however, this happens with the other colums as well:
Example:
910
90346
89992345
88567
567
5578
etc.
The data is aline'd normally in a -l -t10,etc. window seperated by $chr(9) for tabbing. I don't get it.
