WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is unable to sort by a negative line number with paragraph sort. On a merge sort you can sort by a negative line number. Solutions: The Sort feature only allows negative numbers under certain types and in those types only certain keys. In a Paragraph Sort the Word and Field keys are the only keys that allow a negative value. In a Line Sort only the Word is allowed to show a negative value. In a Merge Sort only the Line and Word keys allow a negative value.

As an alternative, the customer could do a Search and Replace for two hard returns ([HRt]), and replace them with an End Record code. Doing this will allow the customer to perform a Sort by Merge. After performing the Sort, the customer could use Search and Replace to replace the End Record code with two hard returns.
