Clearly not in the right place?
The O'Reilly book isn't much help, and the Linux sort didn't do what I want.
David Kastrup said,
Use the menu Help/Search Documentation/Find Commands by Name
and type "^sort" into it. This spews out various sort commands.
which gives me the sort I wanted. M-x sort-lines.
Perfect.
I wonder how many more corners there are to find in emacs :-)
Many thanks to you both.
