>>Thank you for your help. But (just so that I can learn) if I used parameter 1, would ASORT(aInputFile,1), still sort on the first column? I am just trying to justify to myself that maybe using parameter 5 was just a type and not early sign of losing my mind *g*.

>nStartElement
>Specifies the starting element of the sort. If you omit nStartElement, the array is sorted starting with the first array element by default. If the array is one-dimensional, the sort includes nStartElement. If the array is two-dimensional, the starting element nStartElement determines both the row where the sort begins and the column that determines the sort order of the rows.

>Note
>You can refer to an element in a two-dimensional array in one of two ways. The first method uses two subscripts to specify the row and column position of the element in the array; the other method uses an element number. This function and others that manipulate two-dimensional arrays require element numbers (in ASORT() the numeric expressions nStartElement and nNumberSorted). You can use AELEMENT( ) to return the element number from row and column subscripts in a two-dimensional array.

Thank you.
