I have a function that returns a multidimensional VARIANT array of strings of the form:

[0, 0] Item Name String
[0, 1] Class Name String
[0, 2] Description String

In the first dimension this goes from 0 to 3000. I have been attaching to a COleSafeArray to access the strings using the GetElement method.

I'm writing the data to file and I need to sort the array in ascending order of Item Name, making the appropriate reorganisations of the other two dimensions.

I have a quicksort that seems to work well with a one dimensional CStringArray, but can't seem to make it work with my multidimension COleSafeArray.

Any body got any tips or ideas?
