If I run that command from inside a MSYS (Mingw system) rxvt window, it
works fine. If I run it from within a Windows cmd.exe window, it shows
nothing.

If I replace "gtags --sort" with the sort.exe from
gnuwin32.sourceforge.net, then it does work in a Windows cmd.exe window.
I think I'll copy that sort.exe to gnusort.exe in my global directory
and try again with htags.
