Interesting. If you use the VARS command and then ORDER, everything is fine, if you select the variables in the file manager and then ORDER, everything is also fine, but when inserting the variable name into a list, it would appear the variable name gets converted to a number type, and loses its variable type. A variable named '1A' when inserted into a list becomes { 1 A }. First I thought it might be dependent on approx./exact mode but the approximate mode just makes it obvious what has happened. Cool find, no idea if this might be considered a bug, up to interpretation I suppose.
