It’s sometimes useful to show a book’s document names sorted alphabetically. For example, if a book contains many documents and you’re looking for a particular one, it’s easier to find in a sorted list.
With a book document open, run the script. It shows the document names sorted in a separate panel. The book document itself is not changed.
