Subject:dirty stems...

Hi,

maybe I'm just too tired now but I can't solve it.

I have a list in a stem.
Each entry has a secondary entry.

i = 17

Like: entry.i = USERNAME
entry.i.PW = PASSWORD

whenever I sort entry.n to get an alphabetical list of all users the
passwords do not match, since i is now different from before.
So I would have to sort 'entry.n.PW' as well.
But this makes no sense, until I have 'entry.n.PW' look like

USERNAME.n.PW to Rexx.

No, even now, it simply does not compute !

Because, to sort the list -QSort()-, I need a fix compund name.
But 'USERNAME.27.PW' can not be sorted.

So I do not sort 'entry.i.PW' but...

Short: I want to assign each entry in a list additional information. After
sorting the list I want to access the additional information by referencing
the root of this info.

What can I do ?



Good Bye, Andreas
