I am a long time programmer, over 30 years, but new to C# code. I need to know how to sort a text file. The file has a record length of 350 characters. I need a major sort on positions 321 - 330 and a minor sort on positions 1 - 2. Thanks for any help!

This sort will be used as a pipeline component in a BizTalk project.

0	The sort will be ascending. Positions 321 - 330 is the record key, then within the record key, it must be sorted by positions 1 - 2, the record type. The file as it is given to us is sorted by the record type, which does not put the records in the correct hierarchical order.
