Nah, not homework or project for work, but I have always wondered how to sort CSV stuff in PHP (or Perl as Ens demonstrated).

In the scenario, I figured the best thing for a salesman to do would be to download a file from a website and then re-upload it to another one. It doesn't require any manual sorting like dopel suggested, so it's the bare minimum of work for them to do.

The reason I didn't want to use a shell script or something to that effect was because salesmen don't normally have access to a shell to run the file. I suppose I could have easily have said use VB.NET to make a GUI app, but I figured PHP (I hadn't thought of perl or ruby, but those would work too) would be more inclusive to the skills of our userbase, and what internet salesman cant use a web browser? ;-)
