[Gambas-user] gb3: sorting an array-like structure

[Matti]

Hi Kevin,

this sorting problem is (at least to me) still unsolved.
I gave up and used a lousy workaround, reading the 2-dim array into a 1-dim 
string array like "field1/field2", then sorting this and reading the fields 
backward again.
See Examples/Image/Lighttable, the sorting subs.
Works ok with a few hundred pictures (tested up to 1200), but for your amount of 
data it sure will be not practicable.

If somebody knows a solution, I would be glad, too.

Regards
Matti
