One of the reports I developed in my SmryEachVar suite
was a simple sort and print by Name of the output from Proc Contents

Proc Contents data = Library._all_
              out  = Work.Contents
             (keep = Libname MemName Name Type Length);

Proc Sort data = Work.Contents;
          by     Name;

Proc Print data = Work.Contents;
           by     Name;
           id     Name;
