Exactly how did you do to add this to include/cgiutils.h without
modifying the sorting algorithm in status.c as well?

Do like this:

Download the nagios-2.0.tar.gz file to $HOME/patch
Run the following commands

$ cd $HOME/patch
$ tar xvzf nagios-2.0.tar.gz
$ mv nagios-2.0 nagios-2.0.patched
$ tar xvzf nagios-2.0.tar.gz
$ cd nagios-2.0.patched

Make your modifications to whatever files you did, and then do this:

$ cd $HOME/patch
$ diff -urN nagios-2.0 nagios-2.0.patched > nagios-sort-alias.diff

Send nagios-sort-alias.diff to this list and I'll have a look at it for you.

Judging from your description; something fairly elementary. How much
C-code have you written earlier?
