I have a comma delimited text file with several records. A typical record looks like this:
 
Jim,Smith,1234 Main Street,Anytown,NY,12345,206,123-3456
 
I need to read the file andd then output the data (name and phone number) in a two columm table like this:
 
Smith, Jim        (206) 123-3456
 
The data also needs to be sorted by last name.
 
I assume I will be using an array, but I'm not sure how to do it.
 
If you can help me, thank you in advance.
 
Thanks,
 
Andrew
