Hello, Could anyone tell me how to take the following code and set it so that when the data is viewed it is in alphabetical order by the "company_name"...which is line_pair[1]? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 
            open(DATAFILEIN,"$catagory.dat") || print "This section is
+ currently empty...Please check back often!";
            print "<table border=0 cellpadding=0 border=0>";
            while (<DATAFILEIN>) {
                chomp $_;
                @line_pair = split(/\|/,$_);
                $time = $line_pair[0];
                $company_name = $line_pair[1];
                $email= $line_pair[2];
                $member1= $line_pair[3];
                $member1phone= $line_pair[4];
                $data= $line_pair[5];
                $time2 = $line_pair[6];
                $data = &stripBadHtml($data);
                $password= $line_pair[8];
                $pictureurl= $line_pair[7];
                $website= $line_pair[9];
                $member2= $line_pair[10];
                $member2phone= $line_pair[11];
                $address= $line_pair[12];
                $citystatezip= $line_pair[13];
                $fax= $line_pair[14];
