           enter SEQUENCE 'ascending' if A's come before B's, etc
           enter SEQUENCE 'descending' if B's come before A's, etc

           enter SORTTYPE 'memory' to Qwik Sort in MEMORY
           enter SORTTYPE 'disk' to sort on DISK

              for example: if you want STATE sorted before NAME:

                   NAME     hit:   2
                   STATE    hit:   1
                            hit:   R

                   hitting Esc will EXIT sort
