Reference: Sort operators

A sort operator is a symbol that instructs the soft to perform an action in an expression (selection statement). For example, the expression, key1=red & key3>5, extracts only the records where the information in the first sort key is red and the information in the third sort key is greater than five. When you define a sort definition, you can use sort operators.

When you define the criteria for a sort definition, you can use the sort operators listed in the following table.
