Hi,

I made a big mistake an application I wrote about a year ago that just came back to hunt me. Here is what I did:

I retrieved all files from a certain folder into an array and then I wanted to sort the array on the file name.
nFiles = ADIR( aInputFiles, "*.TXT" )
asort( aInputFiles, 5)
Obviously (it looks to me) that the line ASORT( aInputFiles, 5) is wrong. My question is, what is the actual order of elements of array aInputFiles I get with my syntax? What would be the right syntax of the ASORT to sort the array on file name?

Thank you in advance.
