Will--

It really depends on how you're doing the sort. If you're finding 25K text objects and sorting them with a bubble sort, then be prepared for a long wait. If you're sorting 25K *strings*, then it's up to AppleScript (and I think it would go rather quickly).

Also, look around--there may be a scripting extension that does exactly the sort of search you want. Check macscripter.net.

Shane may also have suggestions....<g>

Thanks,

Ole
