  Have you checked IRC functions in Tribes 2? It has alphabetized lists of usernames.

  The IRC uses built-in sort methods on the Username pane, and the IRC servers tend to pass user information in alphabetical order.
  
  Here's a quick (not heavily tested) function that should do the trick for you.

  function insertionSort(%list)
  {
  	%len = getWordCount(%list);
  
  	for (%i = 1; %i < %len; %i++)
  	{
  		%value = getWord(%list, %i);
  		%j = %i - 1;
  
  		for (%j = %i - 1; %j >= 0 && strcmp((%w = getWord(%list, %j)), %value) > 0; %j--)
  			%list = setWord(%list, %j+1, %w);
  
  		%list = setWord(%list, %j + 1, %value);
  	}
  
  	return %list;
  }

  Yep, the function works as expected. Thanks!

  ...the IRC servers tend to pass user information in alphabetical order.

  Typing a /names command for #tribes will show you that this is false on the irc.arloria.net server.
