Variant array of strings

[VBA]

I have a variant array of string values [i.e. Dim Unsorted As Variant] and I
want to sort them.

Does anyone have a routine that will accomplish this task?

TIA

' account for optional arguments
If IsMissing(numEls) Then numEls = UBound(arr)
firstItem = LBound(arr)

Do
indexLimit = lastSwap - 1
lastSwap = 0
For Index = firstItem To indexLimit
Value = arr(Index)
If (Value > arr(Index + 1)) Xor descending Then
' if the items are not in order, swap them
arr(Index) = arr(Index + 1)
arr(Index + 1) = Value
lastSwap = Index
End If
Next
Loop While lastSwap

Search for sort and you will see a ton of sort algorithms.
