I did change over the keyboards, but have swapped back to my old
keyboard because the other keyboard didn't have any linux response
to 'F1' or 'S+F1', even after a reboot! This is what was shown in
the minibuffer when appropriate keys were pressed -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<M-XF86AudioMute> is undefined -- M+f1
<M-XF86AudioLowerVolume> is undefined -- M+f2
<M-XF86AudioRaiseVolume> is undefined -- M+f3
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Essentially the only viable, working, key in emacs on the 'F-key
row' was 'F5'!

So I'm now back on my old keyboard, and back to working as usual,
but still unable to sort any lists. 

Thanks
Sharon.
