Hey, I need help sorting names, alphabetically. I have two variables, which consist of 'firstname' and 'lastname'. I need to have the lastname data sorted out alphabetically, so my list of names are in order.

Ie :
(lastname), (firstname)
Smith, John
Turing, Alan


Your help is appreciated. Thanks

Sorting is easy. Zylum has compiled a bunch of sorting methods that are found in [Turing Source Code].

To sort strings, you just have to change the int stuff to strings. You can compare strings using the >, <, <=, =, and >= operators.

code:

if "Minsc" > "Edwin" put
    put "Go for the eyes Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!! RrraaaAAGHGHH!!!"
end if
