sorting numbers

[blakedut2]

I need to sort numbers from lowest to highest. They need to be asociated with a string so when they appeared lowest to highest the string is next to them. I have to do this with 40 numbers and 40 strings. Any help appreciated, plz explain slowly so i can understand!

do you mean you hav strings like "99hi","10how","02are","36you"..and you want to sort them??
if so extract the first two characters of each string by "Mid" function and store them in an integer array by using "CInt" function..
then sort them as usual..

hope i got u correctly..if not be more clear in specifying your problem.

No as in, i have save the number in a different variable, for example:
h1name1 is my string variable and the text in it is:
fred button
and h1time1 is my integer variable with:
12.65
in it.

and h1time1 is my integer variable with:

so u hav variables like h1name1,h1time1,h2name2,h2time2 and so on..
on which basis u want to sort?
pls give an example of all variables u hav and how u like to sort them..

and h1time1 is my integer variable with:
12.65
in it.

I doubt that h1time1 can holds 12.65. It may loss its precision. Use double data type instead. : )
