TITLE           Sort Species According Database Entries

OCCURRENCE      ARB_NT/Species/Sort Species/According to Database Entries

DESCRIPTION     Arranges the species entries according to species associated
                field entries. Up to three fields can be specified in a
                hierarchical order (1st sort key = dominant sort criterion, ...).

                The arrangement is done in the alphabetical
                or numerical order of the field entries (see WARNINGS below).

                Check 'Reverse' below a field selection box to reverse the sort 
                criterion (i.e. sort from big to small).

                Missing fields are ALWAYS sorted behind existing fields, then they'll be
                sorted by the next sort criterion.

NOTES           None

EXAMPLES        None

WARNINGS        To sort entries in numerical order make sure that the field is
                a numerical field (see LINK{spaf_convert.hlp}).

                Example for which sorting a non-numerical field might lead to 
                unexpected results:

                   numerical field:    981  <  1277
                   string field       "981" > "1277"
