I usually copy the readings (such a you have) into a spreadsheet, delete the a and b columns (they aren't used), and then sort the L column. The sorted column can then be copied, and pasted into a clean text file. That should prevent the error
message you are getting.

I am trying to make a curve but when I try to linearize it, I am seeing the following message at the end of the file
The Lab values are not in order.
Cannot be linearized.
I printed the munki-21steps.tif file and measured each step individually with the Color Munki and then exported the results L a b
I then dropped that file onto the QTR-Linearize-Data.app script which created an -out.txt file which is where I see
The Lab values are not in order.
Cannot be linearized.
Does anyone know what I may have done wrong< /p>
Column1 - L
Column 2 - a
Column 3 - b
