Jochen,
ant-contrib[1] has <sortlist>[2] task does does some
sorting. Below is an example that takes files
conatining of all rpms installed on my machine
(generated with rpm -qa > rpms) and sorts it:
<project>
<taskdef
resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
<loadfile srcfile="rpms" property="rpms.list"/>
<sortlist property="sorted.rpms.list"
value="${rpms.list}"
delimiter="${line.separator}" />
<echo message="${sorted.rpms.list}" />
</project>
Good luck,
Ivan
