Sorting an array

[John Conklin]

Hello all,

I am trying to help a fellow working with a VB6.NET project and am having
trouble.

The exercise wants us to read some words in English, German and French into
an array from a text file, which I got working fine.

But now it wants us to sort the array by the English words, and I would
assume the German and French equiviliant as well.

I have never sorted in VB6 and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to
accomplish this. If you could provide a sample it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help,
John

VB6 or VB.NET?

For VB6, consider posting the question to one of the "microsoft.public.vb.*"
groups.

I'd suggest the selection sort. It is the shortest and easiest to use of the
ones presented.

Take a look at 'Array.Sort'. If you want to use a custom sorting criteria,
take a look here:

Ive noticed that google groups is super duper slow, taking about a day to
get replies, so if you post now, dont expect to see your post until
tomorrow, or for that matter, anyones answers to your post.

I just setup my wonderful Outlook Express news thing to the group specified
below, and answers appear instantly.

The array index, isnt the VB6 started at "1" and in the C languages it
starts with "0"?

So Id guess the VB.net also indexes arrays from the 0th operator? To
maintain compatability?

In VB you could use an arbitrary start index.

In VB.NET, indices of arrays start with 0. That's mainly for
interoperability (between different .NET programming languages) reasons, at
least according to Microsoft.
