sorting words ?

[Matt Maier]

The first line in the doc here is "Use the *sort container* command to
shuffle the order of lines <http://docs.runrev.com/Keyword/lines> or items
<http://docs.runrev.com/Keyword/items> in a container"
http://docs.runrev.com/Command/sort-container

Do you could use something like this:

get "4 6 2 8 5"
replace " " with "," in it
sort the items of it ascending numeric
replace "," with " " in it
