|  N-O-T-E:Since SORT is a filter it gets its data via redirection < .|
|  *column n=1-80 [look at the ASCII text, count from the left].Sort  |
|  is by ASCII preference [#$%&'()*+0 1-9 :;<=>?@ A-Z [\]^ a-z{|},etc]|
|  Tips:DIR|SORT > PRN [prints DIR] & DIR|SORT > DIRECT.LST [stores   |
|  in a file of your choice].                                         |
