+   **What it does**
+
+The tool sorts a BAM file of aligned reads, typically by the reference genome coordinates that the reads have been mapped to.
+
+Coordinate-sorted input files are expected by most downstream MiModD tools, but note that the *SNAP Read Alignment* produces coordinate-sorted output by default and it is only necessary to sort files that come from other sources or from *SNAP Read Alignment* jobs with a custom sort order.
+
+The option *Sort by read names instead of coordinates* is useful if you want to re-align coordinate-sorted paired-end data. In *paired-end mode*, the *SNAP Read Alignment* tool expects the reads in the input file to be arranged in read pairs, i.e., the forward read information of a pair must be followed immediately by its reverse mate information, which is typically not the case in coordinate-sorted files. Resorting such files by read names fixes this problem.
