return sorted array?

[cjkenworthy]

I've found out that using Jscript's sorting algorithm can be faster than doing a bubble sort so am using the following code. However it is not generating a sorted array. I want it to overwrite my unsorted array and return it sorted (the array is called 'SoftwareUsers') :

<script language=JScript runat=server>
function SortVBArray(arrVBArray) {
return arrVBArray.toArray().sort().join('\b');
}
</script>
<%
Function SortArray(arrInput)
SortArray = Split(SortVBArray(arrInput), Chr(8))
End Function

SortArray(SoftwareUsers)

'This remains unsorted when outputted...
for i=0 to UBound(arrInput)
response.write(arrInput(i) & "<br>")
next
%>

On a cursory glance, all I can say is that typically, when you use a function , you need to set it equal to a variable. I.E. the line:

SortArray(SoftwareUsers)

should probably be something like

SoftwareUsers = SortArray(SoftwareUsers)

Then the code following should be looking at the softwareusers array, rather than the array variable being used within the SortArray function. So I would typically follow the line above with

for i=0 to UBound(SoftwareUsers)
response.write(SofwareUsers(i) & "<br>")
next

Just a side note here, but I often work though one dimensional arrays by working with them as a collection. i.e.

for each item in Softwareusers
response.write(item & "<br>")
next
