I'll fix that in a few minutes. I forgot to change the upload the last time. I'll send you a PM when it's ready which will be right after I re-test it.

Now I remember why I didn't upload the new version, I shave a couple more functions to add to it.

Change the defective line to _ArraySort($sArray, $s_Order, 1, 0, 2) and it should work. I'm still doing more testing before I do the upload.

No errors this time but it still didn't sort the ini file

The code

#include <ini.au3>
$Log = @ScriptDir&"\Logger.ini"
_IniSortSectionByValue($Log, "Name")

The Ini file

[Name]
Don=123
Jon=321
Jack=23

That would be becuase I gave you the wrong code.

This works for me

_ArraySort($sArray, $s_Order, 1, 0, 1)

ok, it works but i have a question

right now its sorting it a different way than i expected

Don=123
Jon=321
Jack=23

sorts into

Don=123
Jack=23
Jon=321

but i was hoping that it would turn into

Jack=23
Don=123
Jon=321

Since 23<123<321

I knew that was out there someplace. I'm going to have to modify that function to handle numeric values one of these days. I'll put it on the list of things to do tomorrow and we know the story about that day. Edited by GEOSoft

@d0n: A little bit modification is required to swap names as well, the concept is similar. Just store the element of the array you want to replace, move the next element the current element and put the stored value in the next element. About 4 more lines of code. :)

I'm working on a quick sort with a recursive function all done using Execute() function to get the value of a variant array to an arbitrary dimensional length but it trick is to find a way to store it this way. More testing.

Worked with 3 more lines :), thanks for the help

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $sFile = @ScriptDir & '\RevLogger.ini'
Dim $aINI = IniReadSection($sFile, 'name')

_ArrayDisplay($aINI)
For $i = 1 To $aINI[0][0]
    For $j = 1 To $aINI[0][0]-$i
        If Int($aINI[$j+1][1]) > Int($aINI[$j][1]) Then
            Local $sTemp = $aINI[$j][1]
            $aINI[$j][1] = $aINI[$j+1][1]
            $aINI[$j+1][1] = $sTemp
        Local $sTemp1 = $aINI[$j][0]
            $aINI[$j][0] = $aINI[$j+1][0]
            $aINI[$j+1][0] = $sTemp1
        EndIf
    Next
Next
_ArrayDisplay($aINI)
