Sorts the LIST and returns the sorted list value. If SUBNAME or BLOCK is omitted, "sort"s in stan- dard string comparison order. If SUBNAME is spec- ified, it gives the name of a subroutine that returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than "0", depending on how the elements of the list are to be ordered. (The "<=>" and "cmp" operators are extremely useful in such routines.) SUBNAME may be a scalar variable name (unsub- scripted), in which case the value provides the name of (or a reference to) the actual subroutine to use. In place of a SUBNAME, you can provide a BLOCK as an anonymous, in-line sort subroutine.
