Oh, nice..

I browsed a little through the code, and found that sort.com used self-modified to change the sorting order:

  ; note! jae is patched to a jbe if file is to be sorted in reverse!
  ;
  CODE_PATCH LABEL BYTE
         JAE     INNER_SORT_LOOP

I committed similar crimes in the 90th as well, but that was just me as a teenager programming stupid games in asm for fun and giggles. Not for commercial software.
