That's why Tom also mentioned slicing the array that you pass to your 
function:

Given:
    X2: MYTYPE(1 .. 20000);

The declaration and call of Sort are unchanged.  Since the parameter to
Sort has bounds specified at run time, you also have the option of
sorting just a slice of a MYTYPE array, eg the first ten elements of X2:
    Sort(X2(1 .. 10));
or the last ten elements:
    Sort(X2(19991 .. 20000));

Using 'Range in the Sort function properly handles both of these cases 
(and any other slices you need to use).  Take a look at the latter part 
of his posting again to see how this works.
