Hi,

SORT() is not platform independent!!!!!


Try this: 


** Structure !VERSION, 5 tags, length=40:
   ARCH            STRING    'x86'
   OS              STRING    'Win32'
   OS_FAMILY       STRING    'Windows'
   RELEASE         STRING    '5.2'
   BUILD_DATE      STRING    'Oct 30 1998'

OR

* Structure !VERSION, 5 tags, length=40:
   ARCH            STRING    'x86'
   OS              STRING    'Win32'
   OS_FAMILY       STRING    'Windows'
   RELEASE         STRING    '5.3'
   BUILD_DATE      STRING    'Nov 11 1999'


a=[1,1,1,1,1]
idx=sort(a)
PRINT,idx

1           2           3           4           0


b=['A','B','C','D','E']
PRINT,b[idx]

B C D E A
