I was thinking of using awk as a FSA to split the output stream into 
alternating no sort and sort pieces, then processing the sort pieces and 
then stitching the output back together.
I think this is simpler (easier to understand) than the read -u ... 
solution that is not portable (as per earlier mail) and could be a 
template that can be applied in the other places where this is an issue.
