sorting a multiple dimensional array by values with in it

Hi Aimms Community, I’m having trouble using the Sort function in order to obtain the values of a mulit-dimensional array: For example:multi-dimensional array = foo(size,car,color,location) size, car, color, location = some float value [ ‘small’, ‘toyota’, ‘white’, ‘usa’] = 1.25 [ ‘smal...
