Rob:

You're never confused because you are always right.

Congrats, you were the first to solve this problem this simply.

To tell the truth, I didn't fully understand how array_multisort()
worked until I reviewed your solution. I thought array_multisort()
was to sort multi-dimensional arrays and simply overlooked the
description that it could also sort several arrays at once. Duh --
sometimes my reading/comprehension skills suck.

Many thanks for your time.

Cheers,

tedd
