Hi Jack, I would write a compare routine that did a simple scan along the line for the surname. The compare routine could then be passed to qsort() to do the actual sorting. Check out the qsort() family of functions in your compiler reference manual. They are quite useful for this sort of thing, although they recurse, so watch that stack! Steve the G. [BEDFORDSHIRE, UK]
