Hi, This may not be the best place for this but let's try anyway.

I'd like to write some code to sort values manually. This will not end up being
an Excel or VB project. It's a general routine that I want to bring over to
UBasic which doesn't have a sort command as far as I know.

I have 36 array variables of which the first 8 are chosen by nested For-Next
loops. The remaining values are derived from these 8.

To be usable for testing none of these 36 can be equal to each other. The
simplest way I can think of to test for this is to sort ascending then compare
one to the next. That way I only have 35 comparisons to make vs >600 otherwise.

As I have 8 nested for-next loops that each go from 1 to 36 I need a good
fast sort code that handles any equal values without going into an endless
loop or bombing out. Other messages here don't seem to cover this particular situation.

Thanks for any help.
