VBA array sort function?

Take a look here:
Edit: The referenced source (allexperts.com) has since closed, but here are the relevant author comments:

There are many algorithms available on the web for sorting. The most versatile and usually the quickest is the Quicksort algorithm. Below is a function for it.

Call it simply by passing an array of values (string or numeric; it doesn’t matter) with the Lower Array Boundary (usually 0) and the Upper Array Boundary (i.e. UBound(myArray).)

Example: Call QuickSort(myArray, 0, UBound(myArray))

When it’s done, myArray will be sorted and you can do what you want with it.
(Source: archive.org)

Public Sub QuickSort(vArray As Variant, inLow As Long, inHi As Long)
  Dim pivot   As Variant
  Dim tmpSwap As Variant
  Dim tmpLow  As Long
  Dim tmpHi   As Long

  tmpLow = inLow
  tmpHi = inHi

  pivot = vArray((inLow + inHi) \ 2)

  While (tmpLow <= tmpHi)
     While (vArray(tmpLow) < pivot And tmpLow < inHi)
        tmpLow = tmpLow + 1
     Wend

     While (pivot < vArray(tmpHi) And tmpHi > inLow)
        tmpHi = tmpHi - 1
     Wend

     If (tmpLow <= tmpHi) Then
        tmpSwap = vArray(tmpLow)
        vArray(tmpLow) = vArray(tmpHi)
        vArray(tmpHi) = tmpSwap
        tmpLow = tmpLow + 1
        tmpHi = tmpHi - 1
     End If
  Wend

  If (inLow < tmpHi) Then QuickSort vArray, inLow, tmpHi
  If (tmpLow < inHi) Then QuickSort vArray, tmpLow, inHi
End Sub

Note that this only works with single-dimensional (aka “normal”?) arrays. (There’s a working multi-dimensional array QuickSort here.)
