Raise Events - Generic Function For Sorting Integer Arrays

I am very confuse over a Raise Events example and using delegate as a function pointer: I am clear with this function pointer example program below which creates a generic sort function for sorting integer arrays without changing the main sort function.
' Returns True if need to swap
Delegate Function CompareFunc(ByVal x As Integer, _
ByVal y As Integer) _
As Boolean

Here are two alternative target methods for the delegate - one for an ascending sort and one for a descending sort:
Function SortAscending(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer) As Boolean
If y < x Then
SortAscending = True
End If
End Function
Function SortDescending(ByVal x As Integer, _
ByVal y As Integer) As Boolean
