sorting question

[dsavitsk]

Thank you all for the suggestions.

i am trying to unscramble scrambled words (which i am frustratingly bad at)
so i send all of the permutations to Word's spell checker and see what it
thinks are words.  I'll post the code this afternoon when i'm done in case
anyone wants it.
