Example of state typelist sort file elements

The following example is not a likely one and is included only to demonstrate the elements of the file. It applies to typecodes from the State typelist. The file causes some U.S. western states to be listed in the order specified, and first in any U.S English list of states in the PolicyCenter user interface. The other lines in the file do not affect the list of states because they start with //. The file is named State_en_US.sort and is intended for U.S. English:

// sort order definition for some U.S. western states
Washington
Oregon
California
Nevada
Utah
Arizona
// Other states will be listed in 
// alphabetical order after Arizona.

Any typecodes in the typelist that are not in the .sort file are listed after the typecode display names listed in the .sort file. These typecodes are ordered according to the sort order specified in the language_languageCode.xml file for that language.
