Arguments
fips
A one to five digit, either numeric

States have a two digit FIPS code and counties have a five digit FIPS
code (where the first 2 numbers pertain to the state).

the values provided to the fips parameter. Set this parameter to TRUE
to return the output sorted by FIPS with a single instance of each FIPS.
