I have written a console application in VB.NET2005 which will read a text file and its contents.

But now I want to sort its data on the basis of its contents i.e the text file has following contents:::

CMGL: 1,"REC READ","7=4;;1413818891>53:1",,"07/12/30,12:18:43+22"
0B05040B840B840003CB0201570601AE02056A0045C60C033230322E3133382E3130302E36302F73
6875726C3F643D3536000AC3072007122913381010C3072008010813381001033130206C616B6820
