How to build a queue application?

Question

I want to make a queue application using labview. If I have a list of data for example 100,200,300,400,500,600 and 700 written onto table or array, then using a queue function it process the data one by one after each others. How could I do that?I am using labview 2009 and 2010.

Hi chip
Thank you for including your code so I could take a look, firstly I recommend setting up the queues using the producer consumer loop before going any further with the development as it will make data flow easier to understand and will structure the process. If you navigate to find examples in the help tab of LabVIEW and search for queues, then a number of examples are available to show the functionality of the queue functions.
I have noticed that there isn't much data flow set into your code, which at the moment is not causing you any problems, but the more you ask your code to do the more this will become an issue, I have edited your code and removed a number of the variables which were unnecessary, if you can avoid using them twice in the same loop it will help the speed of your program. I have included the code in LV 2010 in this post, for you to take a look at.
With regards to your searching question, one way of doing the sort would be to index the elements before sorting and then recall the index and hence the original string after the sorting. There are some examples on searching strings available online which should be helpful.
I will look to see if there are any other relevant examples and get back to you, if you would like any more information please ask.
