No I have got the data, I didnt show the full example. My tab delimited
file is something like this:
Complete music of Ockeghem 380
Bach Cantatas bwv140 etc 113
Achirana Marshall Trio 48
Hello Children 145
I just wanted to sort on the numbers and there might be more than one
occurrence. I could get round it by loading into mySQL DB and querying
it but that seems a bit of a long way round!
Regards
Mark
