Sorting arrays

[Demon]

Off the top of my head again, what if you concatenate the numbers?

510512
511512

No matter what you have in the last 3 positions, 510 will always be in front of 511.

Maybe for every entry have an array of 4 words?

Sorting based on the second element of the array.

Thanks for the feedback.

Demon, not sure I follow your idea?

Ioannis, I think this is the way. An array of arrays.
Are you suggesting a 4 word array as a Long variable?

Every data base or logger must deal with this problem. So I'm sure there
is a standard way. Most examples show the data being processed in a
pc using excel or VB and not in a pic.

Thanks again

As you move the AN0 samples, move the AN1 samples the same way...

SAMPLE_AN0 WORD [12]
SAMPLE_AN1 WORD [12]
CounterA var BYTE
DataTemp var WORD
Getsamples:
 For A = 1 to 12
  adcin 0 SAMPLE_AN0[A]
  adcin 1 SAMPLE_AN1[A]
 NEXT A
Sortdata: 'THIS WILL SORT SAMPLES_AN0
CounterA=0
SortArrayLoop:
If SAMP_AN0[CounterA+1] < SAMP_AN0[CounterA] then
    DataTemp = SAMP_AN0[CounterA]
    SAMP_AN0[CounterA] = SAMP_AN0[CounterA+1]
    SAMP_AN0[CounterA+1]= DataTemp
    DataTemp = SAMP_AN1[CounterA]
    SAMP_AN1[CounterA] = SAMP_AN1[CounterA+1]
    SAMP_AN1[CounterA+1]= DataTemp
If CounterA > 0 then CounterA = CounterA - 2
    endif
    CounterA = CounterA + 1
If CounterA < 11 then goto SortArrayLoop
END

Darrel,

Thank you for the answer!

As Darrel replied, there is no need for a long variable. Besides you have 4 discrete variable that you have to treat as a whole.
