Here is the 'structure' part of the file that's pertinent

Field 1 = 4,#  is the client number   ' in the examples here, that is 2435,
3194 & 5498  - this is what it should sort on - a new page for each unique
client number
Field 2 = 4,allup  is the account number  'in the examples here, that is
what comes after the "-" 0001, 0002 for client 2435, 0143, 0144, 0145 for
client 3194
Field 3 = 9,allup  is the two fields combined  with a "-" in middle   'i.e.
2435-0001, 2435-0002, 3194-0143, etc

So since the file has the client number in a field already, I have it
sorting on field 1 with a length of 4 - which appears to be okay, since
it's doing what I want it to do, except it's not finding the 'lowest'
account number...otherwise, everything works fine haha
