Yes, I could, but since I test things with genini locally I'll have to
guess when to to that.

Thanks, that confirms my suspicions.  Could you tell me what Normalize
uses as the two inputs and how it returns the result?

keep doing what we did before, until such time that we can specify the
ordering algorithm.
