moritz got it for me thanks though. In case you still are wondering, I wanted "sort by mem", " sort by MEM", "sort by CPU ", etc. to work(no quotations obviously, was just putting them there to show that spaces are not supposed to matter). I wanted it case insensitve, space insensitive which it was, apparently the "" around sort was messing it up. I put them in because sort turned red like it was using it as the sort function which I obviously did not want so I was trying to force it to see it as a string. Apparently it does not matter because as moritz showed me, it works fine. Thanks agian
