thanks John. I don't really need to sort it but I'm sure that the user will
probably want the option available as similar linked details are likely to be in
two different places in the grid.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=142084121-01022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Do
you 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>
