[AccessD] Array sorting

Well here is a simple sort routine you can use...

Sub ShellSortArray(a() As Variant)
Dim I As Long, j As Long
Dim Low As Long, Hi As Long
Dim PushPop As Variant
   Low = LBound(a)
   Hi = UBound(a)
   j = (Hi - Low + 1) \ 2
   Do While j > 0
     For I = Low To Hi - j
      If a(I) > a(I + j) Then
         PushPop = a(I)
         a(I) = a(I + j)
         a(I + j) = PushPop
      End If
     Next I
     For I = Hi - j To Low Step -1
      If a(I) > a(I + j) Then
         PushPop = a(I)
         a(I) = a(I + j)
         a(I + j) = PushPop
      End If
     Next I
     j = j \ 2
   Loop
End Sub

If you want an 'Alphametical sort then put it in a standard module with
Option Compare Database at the top, but if you want a binary sort (strictly
ASCII code order) use Option Compare Binary at the top of the module.
