I would just concatenate lines until the blank is reached then write out the
concatenated line.
The result can then be sorted.
If you want to revert the result to paragraphs, just reverse the process
outputting lines of up to N characters ending in a space.

Hi,
I have text files made of paragraphs of text, separated by
blank lines.
Each "paragraph" is information about a different item.
In need to sort these paragraphs based on the first line
of each paragraph.
Need some hints how to accomplish this.
Thanx.
Forgot to say that each paragraph is made of multiple lines,
but a paragraph's lines do not contain a blank line.
