Re: sort a data structure

You can call the qsort() function from the ILE C runtime, which should be
able to do this...

You could also do it with the QLGSORT API.

You could also write your own sort routine.  But this seems kinda silly,
given the other options available.

Depending on how your data structure is set up, you might even be able
to use SORTA to sort it. 

Here's an example from IBM's "ILE RPG/400 Reference"  manual:

      * In this example, the base array has the values aa44 bb33 cc22 dd11 
      * so the overlaid array ARRO has the values 44 33 22 11. 
     D                 DS 
     D ARR                            4    DIM(4) ASCEND 
     D ARRO                           2    OVERLAY(ARR:3) 
     D 

      * After the SORTA operation, the base array has the values 
      * dd11 cc22 bb33 aa44 
     C 
     C                   SORTA     ARRO
