I have tried it by creating a sortField = firstName + lastName but if errors out. I tried creating two sort Fields and sort.Fields = [firstField,lastField] and I have tried sort.Fields = [firstField+lastField]. I have also set numeric = false All have failed so far.

A fellow programmer clued me in that you can specify a compareFunction for the Sort object. In there, you can do your comparisons using your object properties. Worked like a charm.
