Sorting Variables

[Skark166]

Hey All,

I need some help. I am having problems figuring out an easier way to sort these variables than writing a large function full of if - then statements.

I have 5 variables ranging from 1 to 6. My object is to sort them, turn them into a string and stick them into a variable to run a match on. But the have to be in numeric order in order for my regexp to work (either that or have an enormous regexp).

Any Ideas?

why dont u use the array object and store the values there and sort it?

You can sort the contents of an array? How would you do this?

Actually I found a For/Next if/then solution that wasn't to bad. But now I know of that sort() function I can use that.

Thanks for all your guys' help (and some of the smart-ass comments)
