psort - sort primitives in metafile as requested
psort [ +/-x ][ +/-y ][ +/-X ][ +/-Y ] file ..
Psort reads each metafile file in sequence and sorts
primitives between globals according to the option
specification. Lower case options mean the corresponding
minimum, upper case indicates the maximum value. A `+'
before the option means sort in order of increasing values,
`-' means decreasing. The order the options appear on the
command line is the order in which the extrema are examined.
For example, the options -Y +x would mean "sort on
decreasing ymax, then increasing xmin values".
If no input files are specified, the standard input is read.
To sort the file "meta" in order of increasing xmax, then
decreasing ymin:
psort +X -y meta
/usr/tmp/psXXXXa /usr/tmp/psXXXXb
Aborting the program will sometimes leave files in /usr/tmp.
