hmm thankz panyam for the reply, but i m afraid this dont work as the output did sort but accroding to first digit. here's what the output

Code:
03:22:49|3.90|
03:25:49|3.90|
03:44:49|3.97|
05:09:49|3.98|
10:42:49|30.02|
10:39:49|30.07|
14:21:49|30.07|
16:45:49|39.97|
17:20:49|39.98|
22:11:49|39.98|
03:20:49|4.00|
03:30:49|4.03|
05:08:49|4.07|
03:33:49|4.08|

i.e it did sorted according to second feild but its taking into account the first charcter.

i.e if valule is 39.98 its sorting data according to 3 and and then later 4.00

i want it should be sorted by taking into account the digits before point(.) i.e. larger value at the end.

Hope its clear now
