Considering that in the end you would have sorted VALUES not the keys, above array variable name is rather misleading.

Correction. Afer grep's reply below, I saw that what was misleading was my claim made above. The array name was reasonable; it was my fault for forgetting that sort sorted the LIST based on result of BLOCK.
