The obvious hack is to maintain  parallel  arrays of info (some strings,
some real, some integers.....)  and have one array which always contains
the index of the next record.  I suppose a "Head" variable  pointing the
first element would also be useful.  Records can then be sorted  without
moving data other than the "next" pointer.

Possibly more effcient (array  indexing time can add up) method might be
to implement the list  management  routines in Pascal on the 200/300 and
create a loadable binary that can be called from Basic.
