====== SORT sortArry, pointerArray ======
Sort the contents of an array into a pointer array.  

       sortArray    = The data to sort (Any type may be used for this array)  
       pointerArray = An integer array which will be used as an array of pointers into sortArray for accessing sortArray in sorted order (This array should be of type INTEGER)  
Note that sortArray and pointerArray are restricted to one (1) dimensional arrays.  
The following is an example of displaying an array in unsorted and sorted order:  

       STRING  s(999) ; Remember that arrays are 0-based, so these statements  
       INTEGER p(999) ; will allocate 1000 elements each  
       ; Do something here to read data into s  
       SORT s,p  
       INTEGER i  
       FOR i = 0 TO 999 ; This loop will display in unsorted order  
         PRINTLN s(i)  
       NEXT  
       FOR i = 0 TO 999 ; This loop will display in sorted order  
         PRINTLN s(p(i))  
       NEXT
