If the scan range is decreased to 10 giving fewer sensor results the script works, when number of sensor results increases the error occurs..

The objective is to sort a table of uuid's by the corresponding object names.

function LLEvents.touch_start(total_number)

    ll.Say(0, "touch_start")

    ll.Sensor("", NULL_KEY, PASSIVE+AGENT , 30.0, PI)

end

function LLEvents.sensor( events )

    ll.Say(0, "sensor")

    local lSensorResults = {}

    for _, evt in events do

         table.insert(lSensorResults, evt:getKey() )

    end

    -- now sort and print

    table.sort(lSensorResults, function(a,b) return string.lower( ll.Key2Name(a)) < string.lower( ll.Key2Name(b)) end )

    for i, kn in ipairs(lSensorResults) do

        ll.Say(0,`{ll.Key2Name(kn)} {kn}`)

    end

end
