Hi im new to the forum and i need some help. Basically i want advise on how i would take words from an array and use bubble sort to display them alphabetically, preferably numbered. I can bubblesort numbers, but not letters, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Words are sorted exactly like numbers. You can use > (greater than) and < (less than) in exactly the same way. It uses the ascii value of the character to sort them (http://www.asciitable.com)

Cheers for the reply thats great. 1 more thing, if i have the following code DIM cities(6) AS STRING DIM population(6) AS STRING Then a list of 6 cities with populations in a DATA statement eg: "LONDON", 250,000 etc., followed by a FOR and READ loop, how would i allow for a user to input 2 numbers in the cities listed and then display the combined population of both? Again any heal is massively appreciated. I am a beginner to programming but i am really interested in it to see how i do. I do own the book (vol 1) by Alistair Stewart but i am struggling a bit getting to grips with arrays. Thanks again.
