Are you starting with a folder which is ordered already? Sortm no longer gratuitously compresses folders; the man page describes this. What configuration options did you use? Can you send the output of "sortm -help"? -- John Romine

Thanks to John (jromine@ics.uci.edu), the problem is solved. User needs to get rid of the "holes" in the folder before using sortm by doing "folder -pack". sortm works perfectly if there is no "holes" in the folder. Andy Andy Y.A.
