Sorting a Multi-occurrence data structure

One other comment on this topic.  If you have duplicate keys in the MODS (or
array for that matter) that you are sorting - there is no guarantee as to
what sequence they will be in.  Similarly if bsearch is used to locate an
item in a set with duplicates, there is no guarantee that you will locate
the first match in the list.  You have to "walk" backwards up the list to
find the first occurrence if it is important to do so.

Wonder if %LOOKUP comes up with the first one?  or just the first hit?  Hans
?  Barbara ?
