How to sort a list in VAX BASIC

Hi Friends,

I have a VAX Basic program that loads data into a one dimensional
array (a list). After I load the data into the array, I would like to
sort it before reading it. I looked in the VAX Basic documentation
and couldn't find anything resembling a BASIC command that sorts.

Can any of you recommend a command that will allow me to order the
data in the list (ascending order) before reading it and handling it
further?

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
