Vincent- 

There are 4 things to control when sorting - drop drive frequency, 
drop drive amplitude, delay time for drop charge, and drop charge 
phase (wrt drop drive). 

>From the brief information you have given, it appears that your 
sorted stream is "fanning" - that is, all sorted drops for a single 
event are not getting equivalent charge. You can check if this is so 
by viewing the deflected stream during a test sort - backlighting is 
best. The fanning can be minimized/eliminated by adjusting the 
phase.

Good luck!
