This is something that has puzzled me for years.

Can anyone explain the following.

I can use ISPF 3.4 to display a set of data sets. 
If I scroll right then I am shown the space usage figures.
Scroll right again and I am shown the DSORG, RECFM, Lrecl and Blksize.

If I now enter SORT DSORG I am presented with a progress bar and I am informed 
that information is being collected to perform the sort.

Given that the DSORG was already displayed, why does ISPF go and collect the 
same information again?
