         I agree.

         It doesn't make logical sense to me that the sort would be inside 
the loop.  It seems that in that syntax that each looped arg will exist as 
a single item, sorting a single item wouldn't do much.  Perhaps if the 
[sort] encompassed the [loop] it would work.  But, :-), I don't have much 
experience with using [sort].
