It's not clear from the doc string for SORT, but it won't treat a
string as records made up of characters. But never fear, you can use
PARSE/ALL x "^/" to split your string into a block of records (or just
build it up that way initially), sort that block, and then rebuild the
string or use WRITE/LINES to save it.
