Yes, Limbic~Region, you're right ++, that's why I updated the post immediately after I posted it, but you saw it before I posted the change. Having said that, my understanding on how the sort should be carried out is not exactly the same as yours (I explained it in my update).

    Laurent_R,
    The code should get the counts, order them with the highest counts first, then move to the next value.

    I didn't see anything that implied shorter strings should come first but I agree that "move to the next value" is fairly ambiguous.

    Cheers - L~R
