But if this is insistent, my suggestion then is:
1) Scope the array out to client.array so that way you only generate the
array once per user (or application.arrayname if it crosses users and can be
used universally)
2) Get cozy with the ArrayDeleteAt(), ArraySort(), ArrayAppend(),
ArrayPrepend() functions and the other ones, they're going to become your
best friend they will at least work to the first dimension of the array but
will go no further. So if the array for example is:
1) Car
a) Toyota Camry
2) Truck
b) Chevrolet Suburban
If you apply ArraySort() you can sort for "Car" and "Truck" but not for
"Toyota Camry" and "Chevy Suburban" unless you try and write a special sort
routine (and that will get messy)
Hope this helps some.

Well this is a sub-contract job, and he originally said he didnt want no
back-end data. But re-sorting the array and stuff would be a real bitch
otherwise.
