vb.net sorting multi dimensional array

Hello,

I am trying to sort this array by the time field , and have all the
other fields move accordingly to match ..

Group_Array(0) - name
Group_Array(1) - severity
Group_Array(2) - Time
Group_Array(3) - Tier
Group_Array(4) - Description
Group_Array(5) - Group
Group_Array(6) - Channel
Group_Array(7) - Country

Does anyone have an example of how I might do this .. I understand
sorting of multi dimension is not supported with array.sort

thanks
Chris

Array.Sort(keys, items) might work. Put the times into the keys array and
the rest into the data items array. Concatenate them with a delimiter like
'|'.
