hi Vlad,

i didn't use the asort() because I'm sorting something like:
1, 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 3B, 10, 10A...etc.

since 2A 3A are valid, I cannot use integer but strings, but at the same time 10 must be larger than 2 that for string comparsion foxpro would think 2 is larger... I dunno how to fix this so I used a custom sorting..

any idea?

Jimi
