In the process of building an audit file to identify all versions and other 
info specific to an automated build, I call Echoproperties with a destination 
file. Unfortunately this overwrites the existing file, so I cannot apply nice 
header formatting. Also I would like to sort the properties... It is hard to 
navigate the list in the random order they appear in. Adding optional sort and 
append attributes would be a nice improvement and would retain current 
operation.
