I have a table with data like this:
	XRT/TY-91-161
	XRT/TY-91-162
	XRT/TY-90-47

I need to sort by both the year and serial number. According to TFM:
space, forward slash, and hyphens act as word separators in a sort.
Well, I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Utah, and I'm not
sure this is true.

WPF has two different characters that appear on the text screen as the
"-" character. The first is a hyphen, generated by the key between the
= and the 9. The other is what you get when you hit HOME - and it is
called hard hyphen. The h.h. does NOT allow WordPerfect to split the
word; rather it is treated the same as a through z. [Hope I don't have
this inverted...]

But the manual and experience don't seem to agree. After futzing
around, reading the sort and Appendix C of the manual, (that's the part
that shows you how characters show up under reveal codes) I called for
help. Well, after HE had the same problems I did, he agreed: WPF
did not treat it as a separator, and thus I could not sort on
the words. 

He's writing it up. I solved MY problem. I wimped out, decided that
slashes looked just fine, and used a Replace.  XRT/TY/91/162 sorts just
fine now, thank you.
