How do I sort by the nth element of a sequence? I need to sort about 50
sequences by the 5th element.
Thanks,
Derek Brown

Use custom_sort()
example:
integer comp5
function compare_5th(sequence a, sequence b)
return compare(a[5],b[5])
end function
comp5 = routine_id("compare_5th")
mydata = custom_sort(comp5,mydata)
