Re: Its possible order a user space by one or more fields ?

MWalter,

Data queues work great for fixed length information.  They 
also have the advantage of allowing a timed wait.  User 
indexes work great for varying length keyed information.  
User spaces work great for varying length information, 
and are the only external alternative that can store a 
pointer  (an offset is usually a better approach though).

would it not be possible to use a keyed data queue?
