Controlling Dialog Boxes & Button Size in HyperCard

I have created an HC stack for my record collection (which is 90% Classical).
I tried creating a sort button to sort by Composer, Title of Record, Featured
Instrument(s), and Performer, but the script bombed when you put in more than
to objects to be sorted.  In other words, you can have a dialog box for sort
that has two choices and "Cancel" but no more.  Is there some way that I can
expand this type of dialog box to allow more choices in it?

Also, when you create a new button it is always oblong (emphasis on "long")
and it occupies more space on the Home Card than is necessary.  Is there a way
to make newly created buttons smaller and square (like the ones that are the
default buttons in the stack).

Your input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
