I would like to sort an array with POSIX Awk, however I have discovered that:
asort()asorti()PROCINFO["sorted_in"]
are all GNU extensions. Can this be done with without GNU Awk?

Here is an example:
function arr_sort(ary, x, y, z) {
for (x in arr) {
y = arr[x]
z = x - 1
while (z && arr[z] > y) {
arr[z + 1] = arr[z]
z--
}
arr[z + 1] = y
}
}
