**What it does**

Sorts a feature file by chromosome and other criteria.


.. class:: warningmark

It should be noted that sortBed is merely a convenience utility, as the UNIX sort utility
will sort BED files more quickly while using less memory. For example, UNIX sort will sort a BED file
by chromosome then by start position in the following manner: sort -k 1,1 -k2,2 -n a.bed
