Group,

   We maintain the SYSTEM CONFIG on z/VM using an exec that renames the 
members.  I need to run this exec on the oldest file first.  If I could sort 
FLIST/LISTF in descending date order I would be able to process the files in 
order from top to bottom.  I looked at FLIST and found:" If the SORT options 
are specified when the FLIST command is issued, users should invoke their own 
sort routines while within the FLIST environent.  The exec specified on the 
SORT option will be given control when the user issues a sort subcommand (/Sn) 
from the FLIST screen."  I didn't find anything for LISTF/FILEL in regards to 
using a sort exec.

Q). In reviewing the CMS SORT command I don't see an option to override the 
default sort order (ascending EBCDIC order).  Is there a way to sort on an 
FLIST field in descending EBCDIC order?

   Thanks in advance, Dave
