======Synopsis:======
$__sort__(<list>) \\
$__numsort__(<list>)

======Technical:======
These functions sort the given list in ascending order.  The $__sort__()
function sorts the list based on character value, while $__numsort__()
sorts by numeric value.

======Practical:======
The $__sort__() function is used primarily for alphabetizing the list.  It
isn't true alphabetical order, since uppercase letters come before
lowercase, but it works for most cases.  The $__numsort__() function is
used for sorting a list of numbers.  It understands negative numbers,
and any non-number is treated as 0 (zero).

======Returns:======
the given list, sorted

======Examples:======
<file>
$sort(foo bar blah erf booya)       returns "bar blah booya erf foo"
$sort(foo Bar blah Erf booya)       returns "Bar Erf blah booya foo"
$numsort(4 -6 34 -96 0)             returns "-96 -6 0 4 34"
$numsort(4 -6 34 -96 0Erf blah)     returns "-96 -6 0 Erf blah 4 34"
</file>
