No problem, I'd run quite a few tests and somehow missed that on OS4.02
CallASWI had actually been loaded so sorting worked fine. Have re-done
the test without CallASWI loaded and StrongED didn't sort on OS4.02.

No, I don't think it is. The preview of RISC OS 6 runs in 26-bit mode
but does have OS_HeapSort32. I've written a small utility to test if
OS_HeapSort32 is present and load CallASWI 0.03 if it isn't.

Until now there wasn't a need for a more fine grained system. I'll see
about changing that and compare it with the utility to see which is
better.

Cheers,
