The sort-item command displays items in their internally stored format, in order of the given sort-key. The sort-item command combines the action of the copy command with the selection criteria and format capabilities of the sort command.
The items are copied to the user’s terminal or to the printer just as the copy command would copy them, with the line numbers on the left margin.
