function myComparator(a, b) 
	{
	 if(a > b)
	 	return 1;
	 else
	 	return -1;
	}
writeoutput("Unsorted List: " &mylist);

Hi Adobe, I've verified this is fixed in CF2016 Update 1 (build 2016.0.01.298513). The code in the description threw "Invalid sort type [....] Valid sort type values are: Text, TextNoCase, and Numeric." in CF11 Update 7 (build 11.0.07.296330), even w/o the delimiter parameter in the comparator. Thanks!, -Aaron
