<OT> Can't believe it but its true: Visual basic can't sort

[Joel Hammer]

I have to learn visual basic since I need to program VBA in powerpoint at
work.
VBA seems like a polished product with lotsa objects to control
applications. Very nice. Not too hard once you learn how to navigate
the object browser and the numerous objects in powerpoint.  Imagine my
shock when I wanted to sort an array.

     THERE IS NO BUILT IN SORT FUNCTION IN VISUAL BASIC.

The last time I recall having to write a sort routine I was programming
in Z80 assembly language on my TRS-80. Geeezz. The odd thing is, not my
visual basic book or online help bats an eye over this. They just give
various shell, heap, and bubble short routines and act like nothing is
wrong with this picture.  MS$ is really amazing.

I find this incredible.

Well, back to work. I guess I'll use a bubble sort. I won't be sorting
more than 50 items at a time.
