    Hi,

    I have a slight problem in that I want to list all the entries in a
    DBM file. I'm fine with sorting my the key, but I want to sort by one
    of the variables in the value - I know how to do all of it with the
    exception of specifying which variable is in the value: if the
    key-value pair consists of the ID (the key) and a load of variables
    concatenated with §, presumably at some point I will need to split
    them - but then I don't know where and at which point I will need to
    say 'sort by this and not this.' I have searched around and can't
    find anything...

    Hope this makes sense to someone... Thanks.

    Chris
