I'm not having problems setting arrays and calling data from them, I am
having problems sorting them and then calling from them. And your method of
setting a 2 dimensional array is incorrect - it's <cfset testarray =
ArrayNew(2)>. And if you wanted a 3 dimensional it would be <cfset
testarray = ArrayNew(3)>. All of my reference materials lay this part out
very clearly, but they don't even touch sorting techniques. Has anybody
done this?
