Does Papyrus provide internal sorting functions on the data?
Yes. High-speed sorting is a very specialized task. It only makes sense to use existing sort products to generate a data file for formatting. Small-scale sorting can be done directly with Papyrus DocEXEC. Papyrus DocEXEC offers now the capability to preprocess the data files to make them usable as input to a high-speed sort and then as input to DocEXEC formatting.
