Re: Sorting an array w/multiple fields

[Alan Shore <AlanShore@xxxxxxxx>]

Use the following example

D                              ds
D      Myarray                                                   15
dim(10)
D      Field1                                                         5
overlay(myarray:1)
D      Field2                                                         5s  0
overlay(myarray:6)
D      Field3                                                         5
overlay(myarray:11)

then use

C                          sorta                     Myarray

Hello:

I searched the archives & found some info on sorting arrays, but not
specifically what I need to do.  I need to build an array that contains 3
fields.  field one defined as 5 alpha, field two numeric 3,0 & field three
alpha 5

I need to sort the array by field one, field two, field three so the
sorted array would end up like:

AAAAA , 85- , XXXXX
AAAAA , 7, DDDDD
BBBBB,  3- , CCCCC
BBBBB , 4 , CCCCC

I saw some previous posts on using QSort, but I don't see an example on
how to sort by multiple fields using it.

Thanks in advance
