P.S. Win98 SE - works fine.

For that I call Windows functions, so that's maybe the fault of Windows
If someone knows Russian and Delphi he could maybe help me : I use AnsiCompareText function, which use the Windows CompareString function.

Where does this sort fail ? in the main Window or in the Export ?

May be. I have noticed this problem somewhere else. But sorting in Word, for example, works fine.

Main window.

BTW, your program is GREAT! Please keep working!

Little investigation done .
AnsiCompareText works not correct. CompareText works good.
So, problem is in current locale settings of WinXP.
I checked them out - everything was Russia but one section - "Standarts and Formats", which related to numbers, currencies, dates and time. I have changed this setting from English to Russian - problem gone!
How this two things are related - no idea, one more surprise from Microsoft .
Now I have a little side effect - my dates display in DDMMYY style, what actually I don't need. But AMC sorting works properly now, it's more important .

You can change the date display but you have to change that after having selected a locale.
That's why the date format changed when you switched the locale

Thanks, everything seems to be OK now.

but one section - "Standarts and Formats"

Sorry for stupid question, but where is it in windows settings? Through Control Panel? Or My Computer properties?

Control Panel, Regional Settings.
