Do you need this for a unix platform?  This would not qualify as a generic
BASIC merge/sort, but you could shell to the unix sort command for this sort
of stuff.

Subject: RE: [U2] merge sort

I want a merge sort for data in BASIC, not lists.

For example ("]" is an @VM)

REC<1> = A]B]C]D]15
REC<2> = A]B]C]D]25
REC<3> = A]B]C]D]100
REC<4> = A]B]C]D]11

I want to sort by multi-value #5 .. The sorting isn't the issue .. It's when
DCOUNT(REC,@AM) gets large that the whole process gets extremely slow .. I
can't do something like MATPARSE, because I can't predict *HOW* big REC will
get ..

Anyway, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's already been done before, so
I'm trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel ..

EXECUTE "MERGE.LIST 0 UNION 0 TO 0"
will sort and de-dupe the current select list.
