The /SORT qualifier merges the selected records from each
input file (each file listed in the parameter to the ACCOUNTING
command) and sorts them using the specified sort key. The records
are sorted according to the value of the first sort field in the
list, and when two or more records have the same value in this
field, they are sorted by the value of the second sort field in
the list, and so on.
The records are sorted in ascending order of the sort field
value. If the keyword is preceded by a minus sign, the records
are sorted in descending order.
When you use the /SORT qualifier, records are rejected if they do
not contain the sort field. For example, /SORT=IMAGE rejects all
records that are not of type IMAGE, because the image name field
is only present in records of type IMAGE. Similarly, /SORT=PAGES
rejects all records except those for print jobs.
You cannot use the /SORT qualifier with the /SUMMARY qualifier.
