SORT macro

On the command line, SORT x y will sort the currently-edited or -viewed member using column x for a length of y as the sort key. It *might* be possible to specify multiple "keys" and/or reverse collating sequence, neither of which I've tried.
-----------------<unsnip>-------------------------
SORT A B A|D  C D A|D  E F A|D

Where A C & E are starting columns, B D & F anr field length and A|D refers to ASCENDING or DESCENDING

Works like a champ! Used it many times. Just don't overlap the sort key fields.
