Does anyone have a handy-dandy Applesoft routine for sorting text strings, as
in a list of names for something like a phonebook?  It should be programmable
for the length of the substrings to be used in the sorting, and it must be
faster than a straight bubble sort if it's to be of any use for more than a 
very short list.

Thanks.
