Anyone out there have any code to do the following.

Import a comma separated text file

load the data into fields for easy viewing

Possibly even manipulate the data by allowing data to be sorted depending on the entry in a specific field.

I have been using B3D for several months now to develop a game but this is a new thing to me so any help would be cool.

There are a couple of Tokenizers in the code archives that you could use for the first item.
You could do something like this:
Type entry
  Field word
End Type

w.entry = New entry
w\word = Tokenize(s$) ; s$ perhaps from Readline(filehandle)
temp.entry = First entry
While temp\word > w\word : temp = After temp : Wend
Insert w Before temp


That should sort all the words alphabetically.
