Nick,
I'm glad you responded the way you did, since I had thought I had to
adapt your lines to fit, for example, the dog-cat-mouse data example,
but clearly it runs as is and I can use the mystringsort command after
that with the simple syntax.
Great, thanks!

alphabetically
I'm not sure what there is to chew on.
The example shows that the program works,
although it lacks a help file. it should
also display an error message if no
sorting tokens are given.
The syntax is
mystringsort <strvar> <token1> [<token2> [<token3 ... ]]
so that -mystringsort- so that occurrences of
<token1> come first, and so forth.
