in thread log file sorting

well, my actual data labels aren't A, B, C, D, E, etc. They're vital signs, so they might start with those letters, I meant alphabetically sorted in that B comes before E. The 1 in A1 comes from the fact that there are multiple data points collect under the label "A", so each of those needs to have a sub label of A-1, A-2, etc

    Mea culpa, finally it dawned on me: I was reading A #,A #,B ... as A followed by #,A followed by #,B, i.e. I was taking the spaces as delimiters.

    Naturally it didn't make any sense to me ;-)
