Showing the corresponding data from other text file after being sorted and searched other text file

[gamer1127]

Hello. How will I show the other data that came from the other text file after I sort and search a different text file? For example, I searched for the name which is saved from another text file, how will i show the corresponding data which are saved from different text files for the name i searched? For example, for searching:

Search: Lopez

Last Name First Name Age Gender
Lopez John 18 Male

for sorting: before:

Sorting by Last Name:
Lopez John
Belasco Kelly
Santiago Kristine
Feroia Peter

after:

Belasco Kelly
Feroia Peter
Lopez John
Santiago Kristine

How will i be able to do that?

that is exactly why I said you could create a class MyType that holds all info, then sort the collection of MyType objects; doing so keeps the items intact. :)

I have 5 text files and inside every file there are 30 predefined data. Is it possible for me to add those data in the class MyType as one? Besides that I have a function that lets the user add more data, which is easier to add in the class MyType as one.

if you can explain it properly, then you can program it. :)
