Okay. The exception stuff was easy. The stuff with loading a file in was simple. Now I have to sort an array of objects based on a string value that they all hold. I have only the vaguest notion of how to do this. I suppose I could just go to bed and think about it tomorrow. The deadline isn't until the first of next month. On the other hand, I could fill myself with stimulant liquids and bash out the answer tonight.
