  This was added in release 1.94p (1997-7-29 alias 1.94f<) and 
  removed in subsequent releases because users complained that it killed 
  throughput and that they would rather pre-sort the ballots. Obviously we can't 
  please everybody with a simple on-off solution.  What I propose is a 
  setup mode option to enable sorting with the feeder.  This can be saved 
  on the memory card so that it need not be reset every time the AV is powered 
  on.  Comments? 
  
  Since 1.94y has been released, this would be 1.94z unless we made 
  this a 1.95-only feature.  Remember that 1.95 is only supported by GEMS 
  (not VTS) and is essentially 1.94 with some extra data stored on the memory 
  cards which makes them incompatible with 1.94 memory cards.  Your call 
  Tari.
