Sorting a TStringGrid

Use any sort algorithm on the 1st column. Some of them can do it on the same TStringGrid component and some can do it by copying sorted values to a new instance of the TStringGrid component. Which one you choose result in the amount coding and the speed of executing.

Do something like this:
i,j.minimuRow : LongInt;
tempRow : TStrings;

for i:=0 to RowCount-2 do
begin
  // sg - your StringGrid
  // 1 for column 1
  currentValue:=sg.Cells(i,1);

  // supose the min row
  minimumRow:=i;

  // search till rest for real min row
  for j:=i+1 to RowCount - 1 do
    if sg.Cells(j,1)<sg.Cells(minimumRow,1) then
      minimumRow:=j;

  // swap if some other row is min
  if minimumRow<>i then
  begin
    tempRow:=sg.Rows[i];
    sg.Rows[i]:=sg.Rows[minimumRow];
    sg.Rows[minimumRow]:=tempRow;
  end;
end;
