Usage

csort [nosort] [random] [seed=] [debug]
csort takes coordinates entered from standard in in the format similar to the output of the bright command (Section 5.9.4). It then uses a "least cost insertion algorithm" to attempt to order the stars so the travel distance is a minimum. It then prints out the list to standard out. The total distance traveled is printed to standard error.

No allowance for observation time, or dome travel time is made.
