sort an array

[Bill Randall]

This is a sample of how I have always sorted arrays in filePro if needed.

@keyc::declare junk(2,.0):
::dim dat(10)(2,.0):
::dat("1")="6";dat("2")="1";dat("3")="4";dat("4")="8";dat("5")="2":
::dat("6")="3";dat("7")="5";dat("8")="10";dat("9")="7";dat("10")="9":
::zx(2,.0)="1":
::ct(2,.0)="1":
loop:::
:dat(zx) gt dat(zx+ct):gosub swap:
:junk ne "" and ct+zx lt "10":ct=ct+"1" ; goto loop:
:zx ne "9":zx=zx+"1" ; ct="1" ; goto loop:
::x=listbox (dat,"1","10"):
::end:
swap:::
::junk=dat(zx+ct);dat(zx+ct)=dat(zx);dat(zx)=junk:
::return:
