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.
