Hi jk,

Here is a different way:

lines = file.readlines()

counter = 0
(headerlist,middlelist,footerlist)  = ([],[],[])
for line in lines:
  if line[:6] == 'middle':
    middlelist += line
    counter += 1
  elif: counter == 0: headerlist += line
  else: footerlist += line
middlelist.sort()
wholelist = headerlist + middlelist + footerlist

bill
