No. 

There may be a way to fake it, which I use for printing reports in the
Print Log.  You must arrange your systems on separate charts in the
order you wish to have them logged/printed.  Charts are executed
starting 
with the upper left corner of the workspace window  (this is not a
joke!)  
You can also run the same system on different groups of "equities"
using the Chartscanner if the groups are in different charts.
That will sort by group. Or different systems on the same group, 
using one chart per system. That should sort by system.

You may want to use separate workspaces.  I run ChartScanner on five
workspaces.  Each WS has one or two charts with different systems or
data lists.  The separate WS are needed to print headings once for
each system. But I also need to use Global Variables as a heading flag
since each new security in the data list resets all variables 
within TS. The "Heading Printed" flag must stay set for the entire data
list. Changing the WS resets even the Global Variables (if GlobeKeep is
not loaded).  (The things one has to do to get TS to work correctly !!)
Of course all this stuff is not needed if you're looking only at the
STCC.

Actually there is a crude sort of sorts (:-) in the ChartScanner.
After my harrassing them several years ago about no sort ability, 
and the butt-ugly output of the ChartScanner, and the inability to
format the output, Omega added a "filter by alert" feature.
Click the drop-down box in the toolbar of the ChartScanner.  All the
alert types (systems or drawing objects) will be listed.  Click on the
type you wish to examine, and only the "equities" from that alert will
be displayed.  (This is explained in HELP as "Chart Scanner - filtering
results".)

I am assuming this scheme will work with commodities :-)
