- "Sort the region lexicographically as specified by RECORD-REGEXP and KEY.
-RECORD-REGEXP specifies the textual units which should be sorted.

+ "Sort the text in the region region lexicographically.
+If called interactively, prompt for two regular expressions,
+RECORD-REGEXP and KEY-REGEXP.

+RECORD-REGEXP specifies the textual units to be sorted.

+
+KEY-REGEXP specifies the part of each record (i.e. each match for

+ If it is \"\\\\digit\", use the digit'th \"\\\\(...\\\\)\"
+ match field specified by RECORD-REGEXP.
+ If it is \"\\\\&\", use the whole record.
+ Otherwise, KEY-REGEXP should be a regular expression with which

+With a negative prefix arg, sort in reverse order.
The variable `sort-fold-case' determines whether alphabetic case affects
the sort order.
