	SORTING Strings and Lists.. Cheat Sheet!

	var NAMES []string

	NAMES = append(NAMES, "Jenny")
	NAMES = append(NAMES, "Alec")
	NAMES = append(NAMES, "Kendal")
	NAMES = append(NAMES, "Carter")

	//4. To Sort the names in NAMES alphabetically, 
	sort.Strings(NAMES)


	// For sorting Structs Alphabetically 
	type STOCK_OBJ struct {

		SYMBOL		string
		Date		string
		Price		float64
		TIME_OBJ	time.Time
	}

	var STOCKS []STOCK_OBJ

	var S STOCK_OBJ

	S.SYMBOL = "NFLX"
	S.Date	= "12/05/2005"
	S.Price = 353.24
	STOCKS = append(STOCKS, S)

	S.SYMBOL = "AAPL"
	S.Date	= "10/10/2010"
	S.Price = 210.24
	STOCKS = append(STOCKS, S)

	S.SYMBOL = "ZNFL"
	S.Date	= "11/11/2002"
	S.Price = 53.24
	STOCKS = append(STOCKS, S)

	S.SYMBOL = "BAC"
	S.Date	= "01/05/2003"
	S.Price 98.24
	STOCKS = append(STOCKS, S)

	// At this point the list is unordered (items are entered in the order shown above)
	// To Sort ALPHABETICALLY do this: 
	// (if you want to sort in DESCENDING/ REVERSE alpha order, use > (greater than)) 
	
	//  (Note, the same applies to INTS and Floats)

    sort.Slice(STOCKS, func(i, j int) bool {
        return STOCKS[i].SYMBOL < STOCKS[j].SYMBOL
    })


	// Finally to sort the above slice /struct by way of the time.Time TIME_OBJ:
	
	sort.Slice(STOCKS, func(i, j int) bool { return (STOCKS)[i].TIME_OBJ.Before((STOCKS)[j].TIME_OBJ)})	

	(Will sort the slice by order of time/date the record was entered in say mongo)
