 The easy solution to this problem is to upgrade to HC 2.0 . In 2.0
you sort the items by the command "sort items of fld MyField" (if
the items are on separate lines you just write "sort fld MyField").

 If you, for some reasons don't have HC 2.0 or doesn't want to use it
you could try some of the XCMD available for sorting fields.
