Does anyone know how I can swap 2 fields in a tab delimited file
containing 2 fields?

Here's an example of my data:
~ <TAB>WOODSTOCK OUTLET<CR>
AF100<TAB>METRO AUDIO DYNAMI<CR>

What I'd like to do is swap the 2 fields (or do a `sort` based on the
second field!) such that I end up with this:
WOODSTOCK OUTLET<TAB> <CR>
METRO AUDIO DYNAMICS<TAB>AF100<CR>

Does anyone know of a way I can accomplish this?  I tried using cut
- -f2,1 -d"\t" but no adeu...

As always, much thanks in advance!
