Gee, thanks! Let me muse on that a bit, I suppose a paypal button or amazon 
wish-list link would work. And the charity idea is cool. Thanks very much!

The JS tries to be smart about the comparison function by looking at the 
contents of the first row. I think what's going on is that sorting 
high-to-low means there's a blank field at top already, and so a 
straight-up string comparison gets used.

Very odd, I have no idea why that gets generated so. Hmmm...

The single entry page is going to use your entry template setting which is a 
separate template form the HTML export. Some of the templates use fixed 
colors and some don't.

I really need to scrub the HTML export and see if I can clean it up and get 
these issues fixed. I think that I can hard-code the sorting function 
during the export, rather than trying to use JS to figure it out, at 
run-time. That'll be my first thing.

Thanks for your email!
