alphabet

Hey I have to output in alphabetical order. It was working when I did it on a test file which was less then this one
This is what I got for output
Letter Count Frequency
====== ===== =========
A 18 ************************************
B 1 **

This file has 75 words and 321 letters.
The highest frequency is 39.

The file sorted alphabetically:
Funny One Plus Six Ten Do Lets Now Say Stop

five four friends hand hand hand hand have hold it
left left nine nine of of on pausing pointing prove
quickly right right say say seven seven six ten that
the the the the this three time to try two
up will without you your

Just ignore the stars on the other line it doesn't do it on my output file.

I don't understand this because like I said when It was run on a smaller sample it was sorted alphabetically.
Doesn't make sense
Thx

This is so weird because the output is alphabetical up to a certain point

The file sorted alphabetically:
Funny One Plus Six Ten Do Lets Now Say Stop
Tell This Touch
again an and backwards count counting each
eight eight eleven eleven equals finger fingers fingers fingers five
five four friends hand hand hand hand have hold it
left left nine nine of of on pausing pointing prove
quickly right right say say seven seven six ten that
the the the the this three time to try two
up will without you your

After the bold it appears to be alphabetical. So strange.
OK so here is where I'm at the function is sorting correctly because upper case letters come first in ascii I didn't know that. If within my sorting function I convert to lower and compare them I will get rid of this issue. I have tried to do just that and I keep getting an abort window popping up for a string being out of range or something.

I don't see why
