How about showing what you have tried AND/OR an example of your records and in what format they are in.

because that example is for vb2003 below is my code bar the sorting if u could help...
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FileStream FileS;
FileS = new FileStream(@"TXT.txt", FileMode.Open);
StreamReader file = new StreamReader(FileS);
Person[] myList = new Person[10];
int index = 0;
string str;
while ((str = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
string[] split = str.Split(',');
myList[index].surname = split[0];
myList[index].firstname = split[1];
myList[index].middlename = split[2];
DateTime.TryParse(split[3], out myList[index].birthDate);
//myList[index].gender = split[4];
index++;
}
{
SortedList sList = new SortedList();
foreach (Person chaps in myList)
{
}
int i = 0;
bool faz = true;
while (faz)
{
Console.WriteLine(myList[i].surname);
Console.WriteLine(myList[i].firstname);
Console.WriteLine(myList[i].middlename);
Console.WriteLine(myList[i].birthDate);
Console.WriteLine(myList[i].gender);
string key = Console.ReadLine();
if (key == "N" || key == "n")
{
i++;
}
else
Console.Clear();
{
if (key == "P" || key == "p")
{
i--;
}
else
Console.Clear();
{
{
if (key == "F" || key == "f")
{
i = 0;
}
else
Console.Clear();
{
{
if (key == "L" || key == "l")
{
i=9;
}
else
Console.Clear();
{
}
}
{
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
public struct Person
{
public string surname;
public string firstname;
public string middlename;
public DateTime birthDate;
public string gender;
}

I suggest using Lists instead of an array.

Err, the example link I gave was for using the interfaces mentioned in Visual C#. But if you google the IComparable interface I am sure you will find plenty of examples.
