# ASCII Sort

_cformat_ code:  **A**

This is just like _cformat_ code **S** (String) except that it forces XTEE to use the standard ASCII sort instead of the "natural" sort. The **A** may be added to the **S** or used in place of it. Note that the LDF collating sequence applies, regardless of the sort algorithm. Note also that code **A** takes precedence over—has a higher priority than—code **#** (numeric sort).
