Re: sort array with two columns

The only way I could think of is to add another field. I am assuming you
are thinking about something like "Smith, Mary", "Smith, Sam".

I have another solution but you would probably not be interested in it. On
www.think400.dk/downloads.htm I have utility called XVSRTQ to allows you to
build a sort key on any type you want and sort them using QSORT. Anyway,
something you might look at.

This has to be easier than I am making it.

Lets say I have field FirstName and field LastName with, say, 15 rows
out of an array size of 100.

I want users to be able to sort by:

* FirstName (A)
* FirstName (D)
* LastName (A)
* LastName (D)

I can do that with sorta %subArr(field: 1: 15) and sorta(d)
%subArr(field: 1: 15).

However getting the complete first & last name to sort together is
convoluted, so my guess is I am missing something simple.
