Class

System.Array

Syntax

 Array.Sort(   array   ) Array.Sort(   array   ,   comparer   ) Array.Sort(   array   ,   index   ,   length   ) Array.Sort(array, index, length, comparer) Array.Sort(   keys   ,   items   ) Array.Sort(keys, items, comparer) Array.Sort(keys, items, index, length) Array.Sort(keys, items, index, length, comparer) 

array (required; any array)

The array of objects to be sorted.

keys (required; any array)

The array of keys to use for sorting. This array is also sorted.

items (required; any array)

A parallel array of values to be sorted in the order of keys , their corresponding keys.

index (required; Integer)

The index at which to start the sort.

length (required; Integer)

The index at which to end the reversal process.

comparer (required; IComparer interface)

An object implementing the IComparer interface to be used for sorting. If Nothing , then the IComparable implementation of each element (in the case of arrays of keys) or value type (in the case of arrays).

Return Value

None

Description

Sorts a portion of, or sorts an entire one-dimensional array, with an optionally specified key array and an optionally specified IComparer interface

Example

 Sub sortArray(  ) Dim i As Integer Dim intArray(  ) As Integer = {9, 8, 12, 4, 5} For i = 0 To 4     console.WriteLine(CStr(intArray(i))) Next System.Array.Sort(intarray) Console.WriteLine("Sorted:") For i = 0 To 4     console.WriteLine(CStr(intArray(i))) Next End Sub 

The output is:

 9 8 12 4 5 Sorted: 4 5 8 9 12
