I am trying to read in a data file, sort it by a particular column and then
output the results column by column to an HTML document. I have the below
code which is only printing out my first record. Can someone try and point
me in the right direction where I can get it sorted and then output the
contents something like $value[1] $value[2] so I can work with each column
independantly. If this doesn't make any sense please let me know I have
been spinning to get this accomplished and can figure out how to get it to
work. Thanks.
