Without having to write my own, is there a quick way I can sort a two

that might be better to post this question to I'd appreciate that as well.
Thanks - Tod
Ok, poorly formed question. I know about sort, the -k option was the
first thing I thought of.
Here's an example:
#!/bin/sh
SONGS=`find /mnt/music -type f`
I know at a certain position in the directory structure there is an
artist, a song, a title, and an album name. I could use -k along with
-t to specify a sort on delimiter like:
SONGS=`find /mnt/music -type f |sort -t '/' -k 5,5`
What I was wondering is if I could do this against the SONG array on the
fly, or if I needed to rerun the find, pumping it through sort with
different parameters each time. I'm sure there's a better way but I'm
blind to it at the moment.
Sorry for bad post, just looking for a quick answer from a large
experience base. Thanks for the feedback.
