Sort problems in Pop.Up (AREV Specific)

I am frequently getting the message "sorting is not allowed within a protected group" in my popup. Here are the details…
I'm calling Pop.Up directly from and R/Basic program, in AREV version 3.12, passing in all 12 parameters (some as Null). I am building the Display array on the fly (varies 1-10 rows, always 3 columns). This is an S type popup (for sorting). The Select=S:@FM:1:@FM:1:@FM:Row_Cnt, where Row_Cnt=count of the number of rows included (always from 1-10). The Mode=R. The display data is @FM delimited for rows, @VM delimited for columns.
It was working just fine for a while. Recently started getting the "sorting not allowed" message. Will sometimes go away if I add another row or two of data to be displayed. I don't see anything funny in Display or Select when I go to Debug. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Okay, under additional testing, it appears to consistently give me the error message with 3 or fewer rows, and consistently work properly with 4 or more rows… ???

Try setting the sort start to 0.

Aaron,
Thanks for the idea. It turned out that the Ending Row, not the Start, was the problem. Setting start to Zero did nothing, however, setting the Ending Row to anything ]= 4 worked. In fact, if I set ending row to 4, and had 9 rows, I could still sort all of them.
Upon further investigation, I found that Ending Row could also be set to Null (example in the manual) and it works too. One last test confirmed that if Ending Row is Greater Than the number of COLUMNS in your popup, (or=null, or=zero) it will allow you to sort anything.
