Arranging Variables in Order?

I remember during my lurker days that there was a certain command / code for identifying the starting letters of variables, and I was wondering if that could help with writing a code that automatically arranges variables in order.

Basically, what I want to happen is the player inputs a surname, then they get arranged with other NPCs alphabetically. Is there a way to do this simply or is this a little bit too complex? I’m also thinking of running into a couple of problems like, what if the player has the same surname as an NPC, or if they have the same starting letter then how will that complicate things further?

Check out the “Extracting letters/numerals from variables” Section, this should do exactly what you’re looking for.
