I'm guessing you meant "sordid" history, as in:

  Sordid \Sor"did\, a. [L. sordidus, fr. sordere to be filthy or
     dirty; probably akin to E. swart: cf. F. sordide. See
     {Swart}, a.]
     1. Filthy; foul; dirty. [Obs.]
     2. Vile; base; gross; mean; as, vulgar, sordid mortals.

(1913 Webster's)

Yes, yes I did. That's what I get for posting a comment 10 minutes before bedtime and now it's even too late to edit.

The only code I have with a "sorted" history was part of my coursework. :)
