Query List not populated collection variable

I'm trying to pull a simple text column out of one list, sort it, and use the collection variable to create items in another list.  I set up the Query List as so:1786iCEDA4EAFFE8D19F4.png

 

 

When I use the Run Now function, it shows the data exactly as I expect it.  In the very next action, I try to dump the collection to the History list.  It's blank.  The For Each loop I set up to process the collection doesn't find it either (not surprisingly).  colSorted is definitely a collection variable, so I'm stumped as to why it's not getting populated.  Any ideas?

 

For the record, all I'm trying to do is create a phone list based on AD data.  I'm able to LDAP the data into a list, but need to have it sorted alphabetically for display.  There's probably better ways to do this, but I need multiple columns of the data for printing purposes. 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

The query column is single line of text or people picker column?

Hi,

 

do you have any filter set up in the query list action?

Single line of text - it's just a name and phone number joined to together for display, such as "Jim Jones, 5567"

 

Nothing in the filter.  The Run Now button retrieves the data perfectly.  Very strange.  I went to the old-school length of rebooting the PC and it didn't help.

Single line of text, sorry.  Still learning how to reply in this forum.
