Hi David,
You can overlay arrays in a Data structure, and Sort by any overlaying
array.

Subject: Problem with array sorting
A program loops through a DS array with 200 elements and writes out the
contents. The array is never completely filled.
The subfields are roughly so :
Id
Category
Line number
Text
So, for each id, there are n lines of text to write out.
Now the contents of the array must be written out respecting a
particular category order :
1 category = E
2 category <> E and <> T
3 category T
Have I a better way to do this other than just repeating the loop twice
and thus doing 600 array reads instead of 200 ?
Thanks.
