sortm

sortm(1)						      General Commands Manual							  sortm(1)

NAME

       sortm - sort messages (only available within the message handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS

       sortm [msgs] [+folder] [options]

OPTIONS

       Specifies  the name of the header field to use when making the date comparison. If you have a special field in each message, such as Deliv-
       ery-Date:, then the -datefield switch can be used to tell sortm which field to examine. If you do not give this option, the default  is	to
       use  the  Date:	header	field.	Prints a list of all the valid options to this command.  Displays the general actions that it is taking to
       place the folder in sorted order. The -noverbose option performs these actions silently. The default is -noverbose.

       The default settings for this command are:

       +folder defaults to the current folder msgs defaults to all -datefield date -noverbose

DESCRIPTION

       The command sortm sorts all the messages in the current folder into chronological order according to the contents of the  Date:	fields	of
       the messages.

       By  default, sortm sorts all the messages in the current folder. You can select particular messages in the folder by giving a range of mes-
       sages. You can also sort messages in another folder by specifying the folder name.

       If sortm encounters a message without a Date: field, or if the message has a Date: field that sortm cannot parse, it attempts to  keep  the
       message	in  the  same  relative  position. However, this does not always work; for instance, if the first message encountered lacks a date
       which can be parsed, then it will usually be placed at the end of the messages being sorted.

       When sortm complains about a message which it cannot order, it complains about the message number prior to sorting.

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path: To determine your MH directory

EXAMPLES

       The following example sorts all the messages in the folder +meetings: % sortm +meetings The next example sorts messages 10-30 in the folder
       called +test: % sortm +test 10-30

FILES
