 Shorter:

   (local (accum tmp a)
     (while sorted
       (setq a (sorted 0))
       (setq tmp
         (collect (and (true? sorted) (= a (sorted 0)) (pop sorted))))

Shorter!!!!!!! Shorter because you moved the and clause embedded in the collect clause into the same line as the collect operator. Good work.
I take from your recent barrage of similarly helpful postings that you are once again between employers. It's probably good to keep in shape doing all these coding exercises.
