DESCRIPTION

       sorttrans-cli is a text program for sorting a ledger in chronological order.

       The  program  loads the ledger file and sorts the transactions in memory.  Then, depending
       on the command-line options, it either writes the sorted file back, or invokes  meld  with
       the original and sorted version shown, for interactive editing.

       The  program  must  be  supplied  with  location  of the ledger file to work with.  If not
       supplied using the command-line option --file, the location  of  the  file  is  determined
       using the following mechanisms, in this order.  The first mechanism which yields a result,
       wins.
