   Strings may be alphabetized simply by comparing them in a
greater-than/less-than fashion.
Any of your sorting methods should work fine with your data.
If the number of entries in your data exceeds the number of
elements in your array, then you may sort several portions of
you list into sorted sub-lists, then recombine the sub-lists by
sorting the next element in each until they are depleted.
You may which to also employ UCASE$() or LCASE$() on your
strings to ensure that mixed case entries do not invalidate
your sorting method.
