	\|The sort driver gateway provides an efficient sorting method for both the Reporter and your IB applications. If the data to be sorted takes up less than 64K bytes, the sort driver performs the sort function in memory, and offers the fastest sort available on a Comet system. For data greater than 64K, the sort driver performs it's sorting using temporary disk files (either RAM or hard disk).		\|The sort driver gateway provides an efficient sorting method for both the Reporter and your IB applications.
