sort-list Command

The sort-list BASIC program retrieves a previously saved list, sorts it, then rewrites it to the file from which it was retrieved.

If the file reference is omitted, the process defaults to the pointer-file file. If the list name is omitted, the default list name, %user-ID, is used.

Syntax

sort-list {dict|data} {file.reference} {list.name}

Example(s)

Sorts the list, backorders, found in the pointer-file file.

get-list backorders
