sorting arrays

[Guest_imported]

Does anybody know if there is a way to sort a 2 dimensional array of strings. Any information would be very helpful. I know it's possible in java, c++, vb.... but not sure about foxpro.
Thanks

HI
If your array is n dimensional..
=ASORT(myArray,x) where x is the element on which you want to sort

The available options are...
ASORT(ArrayName [, nStartElement [, nNumberSorted [, nSortOrder [, nFlags]]])

Hope this helps you ramani :-9

If you are wanting to sort all the elemts of the 2 dimensional array, you need to do something like:

*... 2 dimension aMyArray
DIMENSION aTemp[ALEN(aMyArray)] &&... 1 dimension aTemp

ACOPY(aMyArray, aTemp)
ASORT(aTemp)
ACOPY(aTemp, aMyArray)

Otherwise, it just sorts the rows.
