NAME
       lsort - Sort the elements of a list

SYNOPSIS
       lsort ?switches? list
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       This  command  sorts the elements of list, returning a new
       list in sorted order.  By default ASCII	sorting	 is  used
       with  the  result  returned in increasing order.	 However,
       any of the following switches may be specified before list
       to  control  the sorting process (unique abbreviations are
       accepted):

       -ascii		   Use string comparison with ASCII  col-
			   lation order.  This is the default.

       -integer		   Convert  list elements to integers and
			   use integer comparison.

       -real		   Convert  list  elements  to	floating-
			   point values and use floating compari-
			   son.

       -command command	   Use command as a  comparison	 command.
			   To  compare	two  elements, evaluate a
			   Tcl script consisting of command  with
			   the	two  elements  appended	 as addi-
			   tional arguments.  The  script  should
			   return an integer less than, equal to,
			   or greater than zero if the first ele-
			   ment	 is  to	 be considered less than,
			   equal to, or greater than the  second,
			   respectively.

       -increasing	   Sort	 the  list  in	increasing  order
			   (``smallest'' items first).	 This  is
			   the default.

       -decreasing	   Sort	 the  list  in	decreasing  order
			   (``largest'' items first).
