The Select command allows you to invoke and, if you have author
privileges, modify an existing sort definition.  The result of
the sort will be to place the records in the data base in the
order specified by the definition.  The records will subsequently
be printed, sent to the spreadsheet (Send to Spreadsheet option)
or sent to the word processor (Mail Merge option) in this new
order. 

After you select this command, you will be asked whether you want
to edit the definition.  If you elect to do so, you will be
presented with a pop-up selector containing all fields in the
data file.  Select one or more fields to use as sort criteria:
the first one you choose will be the primary field, and others
will be secondary.  Then you are given a box which allows you to
specify ascending or descending order for each of the chosen
fields.  After you have completed editing the definition, it is
invoked as usual.
