            [SIC\]SORT KeyVar [Var1 [... VarN]]

        Sort an ensemble of 1-D or 2-D SIC variables by increasing values of the
        (1-D  only) KeyVar variable. A standard use is to sort a complete GILDAS
        table, using
          DEFINE TABLE A MyFile WRITE
          SORT A[3] A
          DELETE /VAR A
        As shown in the example, the command handles the case where KeyVar is  a
        subset of any of the variables to be sorted. However, if there is alias-
        ing between any of the Var1 ... VarN variables,  the  result  is  unpre-
        dictable.

        The  command  can be useful for further use of the COMPUTE LOCATION com-
        mand, or plots using GreG. To mimic  the  behaviour  of  the  (obsolete)
        GREG\SORT command, use
                SIC\SORT Key Var2 Var3
        where Key is any of X Y Z, and Var2 and Var3 the two other ones.
