Er, actually Win2k (and not doubt NT also, I havent checked) does have sort provided. No cygwin required. I imagine some switch changes are required however.

Although if by "Windows" you mean Win9x then of course it isn't provided. But then again nor is it provided on Playstation 2. Point being why should a game machine need to sort?

<Elian> And I do take a kind of perverse pleasure in having an OO assembly language...

• Update:  
While Win2k does have a sort command built in its no where near as powerful as the cygwin/*nix tool that Abigail-II mentions. So I agree that as far as NT goes, unless installing cygwin is an option his proposed solution is not real useful :-)
