SORT
Type:  Adverb (String*2)
Use:   Specify in which order data are to be sorted.  Up to two
       characters can be packed into SORT with the second key to vary
       faster.  Legal values in task UVSRT are:
             B => baseline number
             T => time order
             U => u spatial freq. coordinate
             V => v spatial freq. coordinate
             W => w spatial freq. coordinate
             R => baseline length.
             P => baseline position angle.
             X => descending ABS(u)
             Y => descending ABS(v)
             Z => ascending ABS(u)
             M => ascending ABS(v)
             For example SORT='XY' is required by UVMAP.
        Legal values in task DISKUSE are:
             U => sort by user
             B => sort by blocks used
Null Value:  '  '
        Null value assignment varies with verb or task.
Tasks:
   BPLOT.........Plots bandpass tables in 2 dimensions as function of
                 time.  SORT 'TA' or 'AT' determines how the data are
                 plotted (A is antenna #).
   DISKU.........Shows disk use by one or all users.
   MFPRT.........Prints MF tables in a format needed by modelling
                 software.  SORT determines the print sort order based
                 of component values: ' ' => '-F' descending peak flux.
   MSORT.........Sort a UV dataset into a specified order.
   OOSRT.........Sort a UV dataset into a specified order.
   PCPLT.........Plots pulse-cal tables in 2 dimensions as function of
                 time.  SORT 'TA' or 'AT' determines how the data are
                 plotted (A is antenna #).
   SAD...........Finds and fits Gaussians to portions of an image.
                 SORT controls order of output printing.
   TVSAD.........Finds and fits Gaussians to portions of an image with
                 interaction.  SORT controls order of output printing.
   UVIMG.........Grid UV data into an "image".  SORT selects the YX
                 axis types.
   UVSRT.........Sort a UV dataset into a specified order.
