Thank you Dan,
 
This is exactly what I was looking for.  I haven't written a sort
procedure in a long time and was not exactly looking forward to creating
one from scratch.
 
BTW... if you want to sort on an item internal to the line  you just need
to alter the line that reads...
 
if line j of it < X then
 
to something like...
 
if char 16 to 30 of line of it < char 16 to 30 of x then ....
 
Leave every thing else alone and it will sort on the 16-30 character of
each line but leave the line intact.
 
Thanks Again...
