Hey again Monks,
    I'm having some issues with sort. I have two arrays, @urls and @links, and I'd like to sort the links alphabetically. However, I can't do that because I can't figure out how to consequentially resort the urls as well.

Here's what I mean:

URLSLINKS
yahoo.comyahoo
ebay.comebay
google.comgoogle

now i want the sort function to sort both arrays such that it's:

URLSLINKS
ebay.comebay
google.comgoogle
yahoo.comyahoo

but if i can only make the sort apply to one array:

URLSLINKS
yahoo.comebay
ebay.comgoogle
google.comyahoo

I can figure it out if there's absolutely no way sort the both in the same order with SORT, it's just that a custom sort is a lot slower, and i'd need to do it a lot. I could also do it by putting them both in the same array delimited, but i still wish there was a way to do it in one step.
