(One can, of course, use script to sort the pop-up listing itself ...)

Perhaps my confusion stems from the terse, and I think, incomplete coverage of sorting in the User Guide. Isn't there an inherent override of one column sort over another, even with Keep Sorted? If hierarchic sorting is supported, that is not explained in the User Guide. Am I missing something, or is this the complete text: Sorting

Ah, that user guide is very old and that info is incorrect. Sorting priority goes from left to right.
So, are you able to get sorting of a pop-up column working? Or is that still giving you trouble.

Unfortunately, that is the most recent version of a pdf guide. For the most part, the info it has should still be accurate. The bit about column sorting is likely an error as I don't believe that was ever true. The built-in help has the most current information.

Once these values have been sorted, ordinary column sorts will give alphanumerically sensible results.
