I'm working with an EDB file and have the need to sort it by a particular column. I've looked at the documentation twice and don't find anything specifically about sorting an EDB file, just general sorting routines.

Does anybody have any thoughts on a efficient way to sort an EDB file? I've thought about retrieving the field to be sorted by along with the key field, sorting that and creating a new database (after renaming the original) in the correct order. I've also considered retrieving the entire database into an array, sorting the array and then replacing the existing database records. Neither excites me a lot and I can't help but think that someone may have already solved this issue.

And yes I could use SQLite but this is an effort to fully understand the Euphoria database system.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

Tom
