Hello friends, tricky question here, not sure if anyone can point me in the right direction? I have a random access file which I would like to sort in to alphabetical order, does anyone know where I could make a start from here? Would I need to load all the entries in to an eray then sort them or even perform some sort of bubble sort (remembered from my college days :-). Many thanks in anticipation for any help. Steve. --------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - - The information in this e-mail and any attachments is confidential and is intended for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
