Assistance with combining, sorting and saving multi files into one new file
Good morning. I have a piece of code that is currently taking multiple files and using the CAT.exe command to combine into one file that is then sorted in reverse order based on the 3rd field of the file, then displayed on screen. I am trying to change this so that the files are being combined into one file, that one file sorted on the 3rd field in reverse order, and then saved. So I want to take it from 1 step/line of code to 3 steps. Combine, sort and then save.

Neither way gave error message, and went through debugger with no problems. However, neither way populated the txt file as I wanted, let along sorted it out.
I have also tried to use a '>' rather than the '|' character in the line of code with Cat.exe in it. This did not help either.
The text file will then be moved from this location to a history location and the next new file will be created the following month. Thank you in advance!!
