>>>Hi all,
>>>
>>>In one of my applications I copy fields (mainly names & addresses) from a table into an array. I'd then like to sort the array by surname (field name is S_NAME) - does any know whether I can do this without re-indexing the table by S_NAME first? I can't re-index the table becasue it's a shared table....

Whoops, sorry Mark. I read you post using the UT navigator and missed the part about the SQL - SELECT. It was probably below the readable area and I neglected to scroll down. (At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.< g >)
