- This utility sorts lines on the clipboard into alphabetical order. A
- line is defined as any number of characters terminated by a carriage
- return. A maximum of 1000 lines can be sorted at once.
-
- Use the Font/DA Mover to install the Sort DA into your system file.
-
- To use sort, copy the text you want to sort onto the clipboard, then
- invoke Sort. If you are using the DA version, pull down the Apple menu
- and select Sort. Sort will beep once when the sort is completed. It will
- beep three times if it could not perform the sort for some reason -
- usually lack of memory. If it cannot sort the lines, Sort will leave the
- clipboard untouched. When the sort is completed paste the text back in.
-
- Sort uses the International Utilities Package to organize the lines of
- text in true dictionary order. Leading blanks are NOT ignored. Lines
- beginning with blanks or tabs will sort ahead of lines beginning with
- text. Diacritical marks are considered, as are special characters.
-
- Please give a copy of Sort to anyone who can use it.
