Exchange 2007: problem with the sort-object cmdlet

[mellimik]

The command:

Get-MailboxStatistics -Database MBD1 | where {$_.displayname -notmatch 'system'} | ft displayname,totalitemsize,itemcount | Sort-Object displayname

Produces the following output:

out-lineoutput : Object of type "Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatEntryData" is not legal or not in the correct sequence. This is likely caused by a user-specified "format-*" command which is conflicting with the default formatting.

There's obviously a very simple reason for this, like my syntax being wrong, but then how should I tell Management Shell to format the output from Get-MailboxStatistics based on DisplayName?

Ah, okey, sorry guys.. You have to use sort-object BEFORE you format the list with ft
