...which is why I was a bit confused when I saw an example in the sdk docs for
python.
Ahh, you posted a link for 2.3 as well. I can't get that working for me on Win32
with XSI. Maybe next release.

That is a good read. Well to the best of my knowledge, there is no internal
standard function sorting for multi-dimensional arrays out of the box
( like array_multisort() ). Then again, I'm no master in this :->
Ultimately I think we would have to use a custom function or class like the link
you posted. It's not a problem though.
I was having problems with sorting a list of points and a list of polys. Either
way I'm all good now.
I really like that numarray module that I found.
