It's not for display purposes as such, but each item is retrieved sequentially from the array and placed in a text file.  The order was previously not important.

It will be sorted on a portion of one of the string fields of the record.

That's what I'm doing in the code I posted, but only temporarily, then trying to re-arrange the order of the array, which obviously you can't do.  I'll work something out.
 
Cheers,
Ross.
