alphabetical order?

If you've read some of my earlier posts, you know I'm a newbie at PHP, so now im stuck at a point, and I'd like to see if anyone has a suggestion. Ok, here is the problem...i have a text file on the server, and in it are listed lines like this: 01|Brescello|stadium|city| 02|Aglianese|stadium|city| 03|Casteldisangro|stadium|city| and the following code is part of a php file that creates a form. <SELECT NAME="home"> <?php include ("C:\path\to\config.php"); $fd = fopen ($teams, "r"); while (!feof ($fd)) { $readlines = fgets($fd, 4096); $squads = explode("|", $readlines); if ($squads[1] == "Florentia Viola") { echo '<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="'.$squads[0].'">Florentia Viola</OPTION>'."\n"; } else { echo '<OPTION VALUE="'.$squads[0].'">'.$squads[1].'</OPTION>'."\n"; } } fclose ($fd); ?> </SELECT> What is does is create options in a dropdown menu. Right now the outputted HTML would be <OPTION>Brescello</OPTION> <OPTION>Aglianese</OPTION> <OPTION>Casteldisangro</OPTION> Problem is that I would like it alphabatized, like so: <OPTION>Aglianese</OPTION> <OPTION>Brescello</OPTION> <OPTION>Casteldisangro</OPTION> I've done pretty well I think in the few days, i've tried learning this stuff. but i have no idea on where to begin with this problem. ALso, as Im still pretty much a PHP infant, if anyone sees any little things with my code that code be better (i.e. a way to simplify it etc) let me know. Thanks I appreciate it -Tree
