Clearly not in the right place?
The O'Reilly book isn't much help, and the Linux  sort didn't do what I want.

David Kastrup said,
Use the menu Help/Search Documentation/Find Commands by Name
and type "^sort" into it.  This spews out various sort commands.

which gives me the sort I wanted. M-x sort-lines.

Perfect.
I wonder how many more corners there are to find in emacs :-)

Many thanks to you both.
