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.
