I tried what you said and what I thought was the Array.sort command but I can not get it to work. What I am trying to do in a nutshell is sort the array by showing the top three numbers in order on either a button or a label next to there respective Shoppers. I looked online for info on the Array.sort() function but I could not see a good example of it in use? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"> <mx:Array id="apples">   <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper1</label>    <Number>5</Number>   </mx:Object>   <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper2</label>    <Number>7</Number>   </mx:Object> <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper3</label>    <Number>0</Number>   </mx:Object> <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper4</label>    <Number>4</Number>   </mx:Object>   <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper5</label>    <Number>1</Number>   </mx:Object> <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper6</label>    <Number>0</Number>   </mx:Object>   <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper7</label>    <Number>0</Number>   </mx:Object> <mx:Object>    <label>Shopper8</label>    <Number>0</Number>   </mx:Object>    </mx:Array>  <mx:Script>   <![CDATA[    public function getorder():Void    {     Array.apples.sort(label,Number) firstplaceshopper.label=apples[0].label mostapples.label=apples[0].Number secondplaceshopper.label=apples[1].label secondmostapples.label=apples[1].Number thirdplaceshopper.label=apples[2].label thirdmostapples.label=apples[2].Number    }   ]]>  </mx:Script>         <mx:HBox id="whohasthemost" visible="true">     <mx:Button label="firstshopper" /> <mx:Button width="100" id="firstplaceshopper" /> <mx:Button label="Number of apples" /> <mx:Button width="30" id="mostapples"/>   <mx:Button label="secondshopper" /> <mx:Button width="100" id="secondplaceshopper" /> <mx:Button label="Number of apples" /> <mx:Button width="30" id="secondmostapples"/> <mx:Button label="thirdshopper" /> <mx:Button width="100" id="thirdplaceshopper" /> <mx:Button label="Number of apples" /> <mx:Button width="30" id="thirdmostapples"/>   <mx:Button label="gettopthree" click="getorder()"/>   </mx:HBox> </mx:Application> Yahoo!
