sort is (kinda) broken

[numeredev]

DESCRIPTION

Describe the bug The command sort is kind of broken. It does not allow for reasonable subselections of a table as well as it doesn't support giving columns by variables.

To Reproduce Things like those do not work as expected: sort TAB() -set cols=VAR1[VAR2[VAR3:]] sort TAB(:, {4:1}) -set cols=1[2]

Expected behavior Columns are sorted according the syntax.
