Has to be a shorter way of doing this...

[cdxrevvved]

Ok.. hopefully the codesnip isnt too long.. isnt there a simpler way of doing this?

moduleslt = mainmenu,L,Mx,2,search,L,Mx,1,recomus,L,Mx,5,randqt,L,Mx,6,pgnplls,L,Mx,4,spotlt,L,Mx,3

modulesrt = memmen,R,Mx,2,onlnnw,R,Mx,1,memstat,R,Mx,4,shtbx,R,Mx,3,news1,R,Mx,6,mnphs,R,Mx,5

format of variables is:
module name, column, state, module position

The goal is simply to turn this into a multidimensional array and then sort if by the module position... To be displayed in the order specified, later.

The code I've come up with just seems to me to be a round a bout way of doing this.. I would think there is an easier solution, but nothing else I try is working...

Any suggestions???

Suggestions for condensation appreciated.... 😉
