Query: table.sort in 2 or n dim arrays.

[John A GILBERT <johng@...>]

Friends,

This is a very basic programming query, but I just can't get it worked-out.
Suppose that there were a 2-d array ( the contents of a simple spreadsheet for example) and one wished to sort a column, say:
could the table.sort instruction be applied to such an array were it to be defined in the form Array [ x ][y ]?

Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

John Gilbert.
