> Here is a question for the sort experts. If I have a regular > document in WP 5.1, all the lines which word wrapped will terminate > with a SRt.

When you save a DOS text file all SRt's are converted to HRt's and are preserved when you retrieve the DOS text file. When you sort, a line is defined as being terminated with a HRt. When you try to sort lines terminated with a SRt they do not meet the requirements for a line & the sort fails.
