Hello every ni's'e guy.:-)

Well, I've begun to make what I should have done little by little... I 
have started to katalog all of my CDs and LPs artist by artist - just 
making one list from every artist with titles of the albums and track 
titles... The LPs of course I have to type in fully manually, but the 
CDs are quite a lot easier. Here it's just to put in the disc and open 
it in iTunes or similar application and then copy all titles into the list.

And it's here the problem occors... Sometimes when I just paste the 
copied list into NWP, the sorting order is totally out of order so to 
speak, sometimes it's as it should be. - An example from one of my 
favorit artists - Cliff Richard - "Cliff Sings" from 1958...

01 Apron Strings
02 My Babe
03 Down The Line
04 I Got A Feeling
05 Jet Black
06 Baby I Don't Care
07 Donna
08 Move It
09 Ready Teddy
10 Too Much
11 Don't Bug Me Baby
12 Driftin'
13 That'll Be The Day
14 Be-Bop-A-Lula
15 Danny
16 Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

Sometimes such a pasted list shows up as this

02 My Babe
03 Down The Line
04 I Got A Feeling
05 Jet Black
06 Baby I Don't Care
07 Donna
08 Move It
09 Ready Teddy
10 Too Much
11 Don't Bug Me Baby
12 Driftin'
13 That'll Be The Day
14 Be-Bop-A-Lula
15 Danny
16 Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On
01 Apron Strings

I.e. the '01' will occor at the buttom of the list...

Is this a 'bug' in NWP or in iTunes? - I've noticed many times that 
copying information from iTunes lists most of the time will copy in 
random order or directly in reverse order with highest number first and 
lowest number last...

OK, it's easy to sorten out by selecting the paragraph and then use a 
command key - COM+AS for ascending and COM+DS for descending sort 
order... But I wonder if others have noticed something similar?

Cheers, Erik Richard
