# Description
Sorts a saved select list. It takes the general form:
SORT-LIST {list-name{account-name}} {(options}
1
where:
- list-name specifies the name under which the list is to be stored.
- account-name is the name of the account from which the list was saved. If you do not specify account-name, the system will use the current account name.
- options can be
- U - remove duplicate entries.
The SORT-LIST command will sort a list previously saved with the SAVE-LIST command. SORT-LIST is useful for sorting lists which have modified by EDIT-LIST, or for avoiding an extra SSELECT when working with a large file.
