How do I rearrange items on an string array based on some order?

Ok, this is a tricky one.

I store items on a string like this (it's just an example, what i actually store aren't names, but some other thing):

Alex,14;Emanuelle,12;Hector,5;Laurence,13;Fabrizio,10

When i want to write all these items on the screen, i use a FOR loop, and the tokenat() function to retrive all the values in order.

It ends up like this:

Alex 14

Emanyelle 12

Hector 5

Laurence 13

Fabrizio 10

I want to create a function that rearranged the objects based on some property of the item. For example, rearrange the names on ascending age order, like: Hector, Fabrizio, Emanuelle, Laurence and Alex.

How can I do that. With events.

I think you need to convert these values to a 2D array, sort the array, and then convert back to string. Or just leave as the array.

Unfortunately, Array-Sort action only sorts by first column (Y=0). Sorting other columns is a bit trickier, here is a demo I made some time ago:
