You may want to subscribe to sul:
<http://www.satimage-software.com/en/sul.html>
and be informed of the latest releases of our products.

The latest (non-public) version of Satimage.osax (free) includes the 
following command:

sortlist v : sort a list of numbers (or array of real) or a list of 
strings (case sensitive). Can also sort a list of lists: lists are 
sorted asynchronously or synchronously if the 'with respect to' 
parameter is specified. syn sortarray
sortlist list of anything : the list to sort (or a list of lists)
[with respect to integer] : rank of the list used as the sort 
criterion. Relevant only if the direct parameter is a list of lists: 
requests a synchronous sort. If this parameter is not specified, each 
list is sorted separately.
[ascending boolean] : default true
[remove duplicates boolean] : if true, remove duplicate values. Default false
? list of anything : the sorted list (or lists)
