Never fear, fletch, I chuckled as well, though it was a rueful one.

General Plea - Please, please, please read Mastering Algorithms, or any algorithms book that discusses sorting (and a good one will).

General Rant - I don't know how many times a week I point out logical faults, sorting faux pas, etc. to those that wouldn't have made the errors if they would simply RTFM (I suppose that this rant has more deep seated roots...). I even suggest and offer examples from my ample at work library, but they just don't care. It blemishes the good name of legitimate programmers everywhere. I'm not suggesting that this is a case of that, but it just touches a nerve.
