[Gambas-user] Sort multidimensional array?

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hi Matti,

I don't find your method so dirty - I have used it a lot of times 
myself. And I use it in table-like arrays with more than 2 columns, all 
as strings.

However, I use a character which does not appear in normal strings, like 
TAB (chr$(9)) or chr$(6).

To pack and unpack a single line, I use Split and Join which work so 
incredibly fast they can be used within milliseconds over thousands of 
strings.

As my rule of thumb, when I have a fixed number of columns, I make a 
number of named one-dimensional arrays, one for each column. If the 
number of columns is not known, I make a single one-dimensional array of 
strings and split the columns as described above.

Regards
Rolf
