Ordering string of commands in a file

From: rgompa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Raghuramaiah Gompa)

I have a file that has lines like the following:

Titl1=B2a

Command1=c:\chi\cw.exe

Title2=f2a

Directory1=c:\chi

Type1=1

Command2=c:\chi\cw.exe

Directory2=c:\chi

Options2=%@%

Type11=2

Title14=Ma3

Command14=c:\chi\cpb.bat

Options14=c:\temp\temp.bin

Use long names3=1

Title12=Dir

Command12=Tfd

Title13=a2h

Command13=c:\bat\a2h.bat

Options13=%@dpn%

Show13=2

Command31=C:\bat\tview.bat

Use long names31=1

Title31=tview

.....

Basically Title,Command, Show,... constitute a group of commands that are associated with the

name described in Title. Now I want to reorder them in the alphabetical order of names described in

Title. For instance, the new file should have :

Title1=a2h

Command1=c:\bat\a2h.bat

Options1=%@dpn%

Show1=2

and all the lines (Title2=B2a, ..) are changed accordingly (because or the order a2h, B2a, Dir, f2a, Ma3, .... )

How can I achieve this? Please help. .. Raghu
