Possible bug in $Request

Errors Output

   1. Sort subroutine didn't return a numeric value at
/var/www/vhosts/support.ne-worcs.ac.uk/reports/report.asp line 131. ,
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/ASP.pm line 1489

131: if($Request->Form('sort_by') eq 'surname'){

sort_by is the result of a radiobutton, and has two possible values,
'surname' and 'amount'. This error only occurs when 'total' is chosen.
If 'surname' is chosen, the script runs correctly.

Check if there is a sort around this line that could be the culprit ...

Try also the $Request->{Form}{sort_by} syntax instead.

Either way the error message does not really correlate with the code
and is odd.
