  12. Version 8 of Icon has sortf.  Seems useful.  But what if you want to
  13. sort on more than one field (e.g. if field 5 is the same, use field
  14. 4, etc.)?  What might be the most effective strategy for this sort of
  15. thing?
  16.  
  17. (I have to do things like this fairly often, so it's not just an idle
  18. question.)
