In your video of October 27, 2004 by Doug H., titled "Comparing Indicators Using Visual Difference Sorts", he stated that you can sort on Stochastics, which I take to mean the %D and %K crossovers since the other visual sorts involve crossovers of moving averages.  I tried to do this but couldn't.  Please help me figure out what to do.

Not all visual sorts involve crossovers.  He was just pointing out that you could do a visual sort on any indicator.  Stochastics %K and %D are one plot programmatically in TeleChart so you can't do a visual difference sort just on Stochastics.  There is a simple workaround you can use, however.

Since the %D is just a moving average of %K, set your %D period on Stochastics to 1.  Then right click on Stochastics and select Add Indicator, Moving Average.  Set the moving average period to whatever you were using for the %D period before.  Now you can right click on Stochastics, choose SortBy, then select Compared To: and choose the moving average of Stochastics.
