But I think your point is clear - you don't want to merely use your sorted input data for a task and then reuse the unsorted version later. You don't want to just sort the output data either. You need to sort the input data for a task, then "unsort" the output data such that the each element of the output data is in the same position as the corresponding element in the original unsorted input data.
I don't think that's quite what was meant. If the original list was sorted by a column, sorttok would re-sort by whatever other column(s) was desired, and then sorttok again on the original column(s) to put it all back in original order.
