mean to sort by row or column? I am guessing if you are swapping rows you
are sorting by a column</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=142084121-01022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
written a general routine to sort any stringgrid by any two specified
columns, ascending or descending. I would be happy to post it if
interested. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=142084121-01022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I do
it by using a temporary Tstringlist and dynamic array to load the column values
and original indexes into and then doing an alpha sort after. It caters
for a couple of data types, not just alpha sorting, so could easily be extended
to sort on various data types. I think this way is faster especially with
bigger grids.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=142084121-01022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
only tricky issues were dealing with fixed rows/columns and whether to keep the
current row value after the sort.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I havd a look, but can't see anything, but can you
take 2 rows within a TStringGrid and swap them? I have some details in a
stringgrid but would like to sort it on one of the rows after it has been
filled. I can't fill it in order to start with because the source data is
coming from two different sources.</FONT></P>
