Sorry, Dominik, for the finger trouble. I meant to reply to 
the list only.

It's a place holder. I couldn't get the (5-line) error message
into the mouse in order to copy it. Whenever I try, it disappears.
And I'm just finding out that the message is fortunately kept
in the *Messages* buffer, although with lots of white space
and other funny symbols. Annoying. Here it is:

<paste>

</paste>

I am testing the 'C-c ^' command  on a simple two-headline-levels text,
for an active region or not.

Apart from the fact that I cannot get sorting work, I wonder why the
content of the children is unfolded if I only want the children
headlines sorted ?

Thanks,
Harald
