bad argument: table expected, got nil

I am getting this error "48: bad argument: table expected, got nil" when I run my program. I am trying to use the program from the Direwolf20 let's play series to sort the aspect names at this point. Here is a link to the code http://pastebin.com/n3KumTsr or line 3 from this snippet

function sortEss(t)
   local keys = {}
   for k in pairs(t) do keys[#keys+1] = k end
   table.sort(keys)
  
   local i = 0
   return function()
	  i = i+1
	  if keys[i] then
		 return keys[i], t[keys[i]]
	  end
   end
end

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

As far as I see you never gave t, which you pass in your function, a value. That's why pairs(t) complains about t being nil.

Change line 88 to

sortEss(ess)

Should work…
