Seems like using qsort would do the job too, but I'm not as concerned exactly
how the search takes place.  This looked to me like a chance to eliminate an
external function (since qsort, as used in sort.c already has a compare_ascii()
routine).  I do not have especially strong feelings either way.  I just care
that we commonize the search, remove redundance, and minimize the use of
external functions when possible.

Yup.
