Sure -- I knew about sorting by function, but I didn't know that multiple
references to "each" would work. Beyond that, I was also a bit stunned that
this works:

sort lines of x by item 3 of each > word 2 of item 1 of each

I guess ">" is a function like any other, but I didn't expect it to turn
into "true" and "false" and sort accordingly.
