Sorting an array

I am not even sure that filePro has methods built in to do so.

That being said, there is always a way to skin the cat.  A quick and 
dirty way to do this to simply dump the data into a filePro file and 
read back from that file as needed.  By doing so, you have as many ways 
to sort your array as there are indexes (provided that you have a 
multi-level array).

If you were to install WAMP in your box, you can write PHP scripts which 
you can then call to manipulate the data and send it back in the order 
you expect by using filePro's own "user" command.  I am sure you could 
do same with Perl, Python and a ton of other languages by PHP is the one 
I prefer.
