If you're stepping using -1 you should have lBound first, like so :- For MySort = LBound(MyArray) to UBound(MyArray) step -1 Next 'sorting request.write MyArray(MySort) Next 'files
How many files are you talking about here? A quicksort might be more efficient, unless that's what you're doing in your for loop.

I've listed files in a directory on my server (using FSO) and am trying to sort the resulting list by loading the values into a array and then sorting the array. I've used For Each File... For MySort = LBound(MyArray) to UBound(MyArray) Next 'sorting request.write MyArray(MySort) Next 'files However, I can't get it to sort in descending order (the files names have a prefix plus the date on which they were created) I've tried For MySort = UBound(MyArray) to LBound(MyArray) Step -1 But that gives me an error (which I can't seem to replicate, sorry). Also, the "step" isn't recolouring (in Dreamweaver) which suggests to me that it's not being identifed as a reserved word. So, my question is "What can I use instead of a For Next loop to sort an array into descending order since the step method of the FOR NEXT isn't working?" If anybody has any ideas, I'd be extremely greatful. peace Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- This E-Mail is intended only for the addressee.
