For REXX, it is normally faster to convert an string of characters to a one─character array of characters,
<br>sort the array, and then convert the array back to a (simple) string.
A simple bubble sort is used for this example.
The particular string used is from a typing drill devised by Charles E. Weller in the early 20th century.
<lang rexx>/*REXX program sorts an array (of any kind of items) using the bubble─sort algorithm.*/
parse arg y /*generate the array elements (items).*/
