Arrays and Structures ~ Organizing Data
This program sorts a CD collection by artist. The file has a list of CDs along with the title and genre. Load the data from the file into arrays, one for the artist, one for the album, and one for the genre. Once they're in the arrays, sort them by artist and then display them on the screen.
The file is called CDSortdat and has the following structure:
Artist, Album, Genre
"Moody Blues", "Days of Future Past", "Classic Rock"
