Very useful function!

crosslinking to --\> [German feature suggestion thread **$sort(x,sep)**](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12319/1)  
because - despite research - I couldn't find this thread here before posting the same idea.

Differences:

- I named the function **$sort** instead of $stringsort for bevity.
- I named the 3rd param (i.e. sortdirection) **a-z** and **z-a** instead of 0/1 for better human readability and user friendliness.
- With **$sortz** or **$zsort** I suggested a possible alternative for inverse sorting in order to keep $sort a 2 param function.
