how to reindex the array
Is there a way to repack the index once you delete an
element of the array. This leads to a ever growing array
since my application is adding and deleting
elements of the array. Without repack, there will be holes
in the array.

No sort won't reindex the array. I try it and still get the error.
after deleting an element of the array, I sort the array then go through
the loop to display the array contents, an error occurs when it reaches the
empty array element that has just been deleted. (error is:
myarray[...].element is not an object). Mind you I am using 2 dimentional array

I can see your trick, certainly it will work but for a large 2 dimentional array it is
a bit ugly. By the way, how do you sort the array to make sure that the deleted
element will always be the last one ?

will reindex the array. You can define your own compare function
array.sort(myFunction)
function myFunction(a,b) {
return a-b;
}
