Abstract
A method for deriving and sorting information from an information repository including data elements individually associated with corresponding record identifiers, includes the following steps. First, the repository information is parsed to identify relationships, including a common name portion between record identifiers to identify a relationship between corresponding data elements of said repository. Sorting identifiers, indicating related data elements, are created and collated. Information is then retrieved from the repository information in a desired order using the sorting identifiers.
