Hello Steve

You can sort Lists with strings !!!
You just have to follow these rules :

Put a dummy .w in first place of your array type
Then simply use :
StringSort ArrayName(),SizeOf.TypeOfArray,Offset of the string you want to sort

Ex: Assume you want to sort an array using Generic type on NamGen field which is in 2nd place.
NEWTYPE .Generic
IdxGen.w ; Index Generic
NamGen.s ; Name Generic
NatGen.s ; Nationality Generic
DBiGen.l ; Birth Date Generic
DKiGen.l ; Death Date Generic
End NEWTYPE

Dim List LstGen.Generic(100)

StringSort LstGen(),SizeOf.Generic,2
