Choosesortset not working?

[TCArknight]

I am having an issue with a chooser_table and a choosesortset.

Portal:

  <portal
    id="hoSpecies"
    style="chsNormal"
    width="110">
    <chooser_table
      component="Species"
      choosetemplate="SimpleItem"
	  choosesortset="SpecSort">
      <chosen><![CDATA[
        if (@ispick = 0) then
          @text = "{text clrwarning}Select Species"
        else
          @text = "Species: " & field[name].text
          endif
        ]]></chosen>
      <titlebar><![CDATA[
        @text = "Choose the Species for your character"
        ]]></titlebar>
      </chooser_table>
    </portal>

SpecCat tag:

  <!-- Species Cat group -->
  <group
    id="SpecCat"
    sequence="explicit">
    <value id="Player" order="10"/>
    <value id="NPC" order="20"/>
   </group>

Sortset (in control.1st):

  <!-- SpecSort - Species sortset -->
  <sortset id="SpecSort" name="Species Sort">
    <sortkey isfield="no" id="SpecCat"/>
    <sortkey isfield="no" id="_Name_"/>
    </sortset>

Species:

  <thing id="spcHdrPlay" name="Player" compset="Species" uniqueness="unique" isshowonly="yes">
    <usesource source="ENT"/>
    <usesource source="TOS"/>
    <usesource source="TNG"/>
[B]    <tag group="SpecCat" tag="Player"/>[/B]
    <tag group="SimpleItem" tag="CenterName"/>
    </thing>

  <thing id="spcHdrNPC" name="NPC" compset="Species" uniqueness="unique" isshowonly="yes">
    <usesource source="ENT"/>
    <usesource source="TOS"/>
    <usesource source="TNG"/>
[B]    <tag group="SpecCat" tag="NPC"/>[/B]
    <tag group="SimpleItem" tag="CenterName"/>
    </thing>

  <thing id="spcAndor" name="Andorian" description="desc here" compset="Species" uniqueness="unique">
    <usesource source="ENT"/>
    <usesource source="TOS"/>
    <usesource source="TNG"/>
[B]    <tag group="SpecCat" tag="Player"/>[/B]
    <tag group="SpeciesBon" tag="attrsys02"/>
    <tag group="SpeciesBon" tag="attrsys01"/>
    <tag group="SpeciesBon" tag="attrsys05"/>
    <bootstrap thing="trAndorian"></bootstrap>
    </thing>

  <thing id="spcKlingon" name="Klingon" description="desc here"  compset="Species" uniqueness="unique">
    <usesource source="ENT"/>
    <usesource source="TOS"/>
    <usesource source="TNG"/>
    <tag group="SpeciesBon" tag="attrsys05"/>
[B]    <tag group="SpecCat" tag="NPC"/>[/B]
    <tag group="SpeciesBon" tag="attrsys02"/>
    <tag group="SpeciesBon" tag="attrsys03"/>
    <bootstrap thing="trKlingon"></bootstrap>
    </thing>

This all results in the PLAYER header at the top, no NPC header, and NPC species grouped with Player species (and even though PLAYER and NPC are isshowonly="yes", unless I add the SimpleItem.CenterName tag, they don't show centered like normal): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ysg0li8r495t8iz/2017-10-22.png?dl=0

PLAYER
ANDORIAN
HUMAN
KLINGON
TRILL
VULCAN

Anyone else had this happen? Am I missing something?

Thanks!
TC

I don't see anything wrong. Check the tags in your species compset - do you have SpecCat.Player being assigned as a component tag?

::sigh:: I have to chalk this one up to an Id10T error...

I had a different portal, stSpecies buried in the form_static.dat file and was using it in my layout instead of the intended hoSpecies portal. Hopefully this will help others if they do something similar... lol
