Nadya,

In this cases,
- copy the grdSorting class into another VCX
- allocate a instance of this into a form
- start this loop

do while i see the hourglasses 
   remove a piece of code
enddo

the last "piece of code" removed, is the glitch candidate.
Verify:
restore all the pieces that they are independent from the candidate
