THIS IS SORTING CODE

For Loop1 = 0 To total
    pos = Loop1
    For loop2 = Loop1 + 1 To total
        If caso1(loop2) = caso1(pos) And status1(loop2) < status1(pos) Then
            pos = loop2
        End If
    Next loop2
    If pos <> Loop1 Then
        Tmp = caso1(pos)
        caso1(pos) = caso1(Loop1)
        caso1(Loop1) = Tmp
        
        Tmp = falta1(pos)
        falta1(pos) = falta1(Loop1)
        falta1(Loop1) = Tmp
        
        Tmp = nombre1(pos)
        nombre1(pos) = nombre1(Loop1)
        nombre1(Loop1) = Tmp
        
             
        Tmp = status1(pos)
        status1(pos) = status1(Loop1)
        status1(Loop1) = Tmp
        
        
        
    End If
Next Loop1

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

try using the ADODB connector for text file and you can sort them any way ou would like.
