How to sort find results

[Jeffrey Ellis]

Aha... Thanks, Eric :)

Well, at least I know it can do it now. The problem -- as usual for a newbie
-- is that I haven't got the vaguest understanding of what I just read. The
field part I think I get, but how would I use the first character? I guess
I'm basically too stupid to get these kind of instructions -- maybe just one
example for the use of each option included in man pages would help?

Anyway -- I don't think I'll ever get how to use this on my own.

All My Best,
Jeffrey
