You might have a corruption in your names soup. You
may be able to identify it with one of the utilities

housecleaning is in order.
One further question. When you change the sort order
and that dialog box pops up...does it take about a
minute for it to finish? Or is is within several
seconds (setting to another sort order should take
longer then setting it to the default order)
