Huh?

You can sort the lines alphabetically:

\\\
Dim sr As New StreamReader("C:\WINDOWS\win.ini")
Dim Lines() As String = Split(sr.ReadToEnd, ControlChars.NewLine)
sr.Close()
Array.Sort(Lines)
For Each Line As String In Lines
Debug.WriteLine(Line)
Next Line
///

Dim Lines() As String = Split(sr.ReadToEnd, ControlChars.NewLine)
Dim sr As New StreamReader("C:\Test\Herfrieds.txt")
For Each Line As String In Lines
M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/>
Next Line
sr.Close()
You can sort the lines alphabetically:
