    Hi Darrel, I tested the sorting snippet you have posted, using a rather interesting swapping technique.

    The code worked, but now and than, it was yielding very fanny results.

    From a closer code analysis, I came to the conclusion that :

    Code:
    If CounterA > 0 then CounterA=CounterA-2
    should be corrected with:

    Code:
    If CounterA > 1 then CounterA=CounterA-2
    After the correction, I didn't see any fanny result for the rest of my testing period.

    The explanation I have given is the following:

    If CounterA = 1 then CounterA - 2 = 255 and this screw up everything.

    Can you confirm?

    Al.
