Norm,

There are some programs to sort and filter Keps here:

http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php

Over time, as version of Windows have changed, they have stopped working on at least some of my
machines.  For instance, SORTNENG will not work on my WIN7 machine with an AMD chipset, but works on
my other WIN7 machine with an Intel chipset.

I have a batch file which does a lot of filtering and copying to different directories.  To accomplish
a merge and sort, I merge with a simple:

COPY AMATEUR.TXT+TLE.TXT+CUBESAT.TXT KEP.NEW

Than I sort them using a technique which Paul, KB5MU suggested, using GREP.  If you don't have it on
your computer, there are lots of free versions.

GREP -A 2 AO-07 KEP.NEW    >   %1
GREP -A 2 AO-16 KEP.NEW   >>   %1
GREP -A 2 AO-27 KEP.NEW   >>   %1
GREP -A 2 FO-29 KEP.NEW   >>   %1
etc
erc

The %1 is a file name which I pass to the batch file, but you could easily hard code it.  You MAY have
a problem with some tracking programs if the same satellite appears in more than one list.

73s,
