ZMACS has a sort command that I really like, m-x Sort Via Keyboard Macro.
When the command runs, it asks you how to get to the beginning of the next
record, the start of the field to sort on , the end of the field to sort on,
and the end of the current record.  For each one of these, it prompts you and
opens a keyboard macro that you terminate with c-x ).
Ater you have taught it the parameters, it does the sort.

This is alot more flexible than sort-columns or sort fields, because there are
no built-in constraints on wide a field is or what the delimiters are, or what
constitutes a record (it could be more than one line.)  I don't use regexps
very much, so maybe I could learn to do what I want with sort-regexp-fields,
but the keyboard-macro approach is very obvious and doesn't require
understanding anything more than the basic Emacs commands I already know.

I doubt that I have the time to implement this, but maybe if nobody else does
it, I'll bring it up.  Meanwhile, I'm mentioning it here, in case someone out
there is just looking for a really cool Emacs command to implement.
(If you do start working on it, post a message to bug-gnu-emacs to avoid
too many duplicate efforts, and please copy me, since I'm not on that list.)
