I'm writing a program in C++.  I want it to read records from a file and
print them in order of part number or alphabetical order (the user's
choice).  My question is, what's the simplest way to manipulate strings
into alphabetical order when they come from a data file? Thank you.

Bubble Sort it into a work file, Print the work file, Delete the work file.
