Mark,

What does the "F" represent?


As I recall, it was Field, or at least that is how I would think of it.  It
basically meant you were comparing the characters (since sort column 8 was C
not D for digit or Z for Zone bits etc) in columns 9-16 to those in 17-24.

It is not to be confused with a F in column 6, which stood for Force and
allowed forcing certain values into the sort fields.  This was typically
used with multiple select groups, each with different criteria and which
needed a different sort priority or sequencing.
