[support] Views Sorting Trouble

[Michelle Ziegmann]

Glad I could help!  Another module I'd suggest looking into is Node 
Relationships (http://drupal.org/project/noderelationships) - I use it 
in every site where I am using nodereference fields.  It handles 
backreferences very nicely (which in your case would let you easily 
display all Academic Programs on the Academic Division node page), and 
has a number of node reference extras, like the ability to create or 
search for an Academic Division when creating an Academic Program node.
