The sortA (sort ascending) and sortD (sort descending) do not replace the
list which you are sorting; the result is stored in the Ans variable.  If you
want the original list replaced with the sorted list, store the result in the
list variable.

For example, if you have a list L which contains { 5 4 2 1 3 0 }, and you
sort it, sortA L, L will still contain the original unsorted list and Ans
will contain the sorted list { 0 1 2 3 4 5 }.  If you run the function: sortA
L -> L, both L and Ans will contain the sorted list.

I hope this helps.  If you have any other questions, please let us know.

 I have been going crazy trying to sort a list of ten numerical
values from within a program. The "Sort" command just doesn't
work ! No error message, though. Seems to execute the command
with no change to the list.
 I'm using a TI-85.
