Currently, if 'HAVE_OGR' macro is defined, as part of execution, we sort all formats by name using qsort. But, array containing all formats is assigned based on a conditional and if the conditional fails, it can be NULL.
Behavior of qsort when a NULL array is provided is undefined. To avoid getting into that situation, check if the array is NULL before performing qsort on it.
This issue was found by using cppcheck tool.
