Re: Sorting an array w/multiple fields

In the same sort of situation I finally resorted to having an Array which
was a data structure made up of  the three fields.

Subject: Sorting an array w/multiple fields
 
Hello:
 
I searched the archives & found some info on sorting arrays, but not
specifically what I need to do.  I need to build an array that contains 3
fields.  field one defined as 5 alpha, field two numeric 3,0 & field three
alpha 5
 
I need to sort the array by field one, field two, field three so the
sorted array would end up like:
 
AAAAA , 85- , XXXXX
AAAAA , 7, DDDDD
BBBBB,  3- , CCCCC
BBBBB , 4 , CCCCC
 
I saw some previous posts on using QSort, but I don't see an example on
how to sort by multiple fields using it.
 
Thanks in advance
