sort content of a register

One by one I have appended a number of lines to a register ("z). I
need to sort them and then paste them at the start of the document.
Without complaint, vim accepts the command
:"zsort
but the content of "z is unchanged. Is it possible to do this in the
register, or must I paste it into the document and sort it there?
