Sorting algorithm for three keys

Hello,

I'm looking for a sorting algorithm which can sort on three keys.
Example:
First I want to sort on increasing lastname, then on increasing
firstname and finally on increasing age.

Already thanks,
                Marco

Hi Marco,

I have a QuickSort routine that sorts on 7 keys using 1 to 3 fields.

It uses DOS memory for arrays up to ~500k - the routines to allocate and
release memory are taken from SWAG.

It is too long to post, so I have emailed it to you. If you have any
questions, please email me.

Best Regards,
