Re: Re: I need to sort a 2D list.

Thank you for the information. It will work well. However, I forgot to mention that if two value are equal, they take the next two ranks and divide by two. For example:

$total[1][1] = 123;
$total[2][1] = 345;
$total[3][1] = 222;
$total[4][1] = 222;

rank[1][1] should be 1
rank[2][1] should be 4
rank[3][1] should be 2.5  #(3+2)/2
rank[4][1] should be 2.5  #(3+2)/2

How can I do this?

Well that should be easy - instead of incrementing by one each time through the loop, you need to count the number of values at that rank. Then do a separate increment before and after using the rank. I reckon for num values at the given rank you would need (num - 1)/2 as the post-increment and (num - postincrement) as the pre-increment, but you know what you are trying to achieve. -- iakobski	[reply]
