I have a list of records (each with a few fields). I want to let users display this list of records in ascending orders of any record field.
Is there any existing units/library I can use?

Thanks in advance.

Determine the sorting key for each of the fields and use quick sort? If the field you’re sorting by is a name for example then use alphabetic order. Sounds like a generic sorting by comparison problem and doesn’t require any specific library.

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about it.
