NAME
       apt-sortpkgs - Utility to sort package index files

SYNOPSIS
       apt-sortpkgs [-hvs] [-o=config string] [-c=file] file...

DESCRIPTION
       apt-sortpkgs will take an index file (Source index or Package index)
       and sort the records so that they are ordered by the package name. It
       will also sort the internal fields of each record according to the
       internal sorting rules.

       All output is sent to stdout, the input must be a seekable file.

OPTIONS
       All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the
       descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean
       options you can override the config file by using something like
       -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.

	   Use Source index field ordering. Configuration Item:
	   APT::SortPkgs::Source.

       -v, --version
	   Show the program version.

       -c, --config-file
	   Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The
	   program will read the default configuration file and then this
