It's settled, to hell with using the array idea - I've resorted to using a
temp table in the database. Maybe I'll see if I could apply a stored
procedure to hurry things along - that should be a fun project seeing as I
have never written one yet. I still, however, would like to know if
somebody runs across a method of sorting a 2 dimensional array (or a one
dimensional array that holds one dimensional arrays as you all would call
it ). Thanks for all of your feedback.
