Answer 1

If

1.  You know how to read the records and find the sort key in them

2.  The records are not too long

3.  There are not too many records.

Then you can

1.  Read a record

2.  Add a copy of the sort key to the beginning of the record (if it isn't already there.)

3.  Add the record to a sorted list box.

4.  Repeat to end of file.
