I have a list (i.e. Dim nList as new List(of className)). Each class has a property named zIndex (i.e. className.zIndex). Is it possible to sort the elements of the list by the zIndex variable in all of the elements of the list?
View 4 RepliesI'm using the following code to sort a List(of Class) using LINQ. It works fine, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it. I'm basically taking one list, applying LINQ to it, then using the result to create a second list in the sorted order. Can I do this without creating a second list? Here is my sample
' KeyMatch is my Class Variable
' mMatchList is the Unsorted List

I'm trying to sort a List of objects with a generic comparison.I get an exception when the property on which I'm sorting happens to be null in one of the objects.VB.NET 2.0, web.i've read several posts on this exception, and still don't get it.[code]It is true that this only happens on properties which happen to be null somewhere in the list.Sometimes I sort on other properties which happen to always be always non-null (using a different, but similar, comparison method), and this technique works just fine.I've tried to implement the CompareTo for both IComparable and IComparable(of FollowupSurvey) so I could capture this exception while debugging, but netiher actually get invoked (despite what it seems like the exception is telling me). At this point, I don't have a CompareTo in my FollowupSurvey object; thus, it's using Object's.It doesn't seem as if I can really help if the base CompareTo doesn't reutrn 0.anyone have any idea what this exception really means, and how to make sorting work properly?

I have a two-column ListView linked to a Datapager. The ListView lists all files of a particular type in a particular directory, so the data source is an ArrayList of type FileInfo. Consequently, I had to create a Comparer class to use in the ArrayList.Sort method.

I have a list of instruments and I need to sort them to the following requirement.
order by:

I have a list of instrument which has properties name and type, I've managed to sort alphabetically by name.

View 1 RepliesI have a slightly odd problem that I think is most likely due to an act of foolishness on my part, but for the life of me I (and other members of my team) can't see it.I have an object that contains a generic list property which I would like to sort. I have written a comparer class to do this for me and I am calling it in the following way:baseObject.ListOfThings.Sort(new ThingComparer()I have debugged into my compare function and it is returning the right values.However After the sort call, the list remains unchanged. Have I missed something obvious, or is there something else I need to do.EDIT: Yes I was being a fool, and the property returning a list was recreating it from scratch each time it was accessed

I would like to sort a list of strings which represent paths. The sort result will do have a hierarchical order.

For each subdirectory, I want all files..

View 1 RepliesIn 2007 I created a program that reads weather data into a listview. When a user clicks on the column header it fires off the column click event handler which calls the Sort Wrapper function. The Sort wrapper will re-order items either in ascending or descending order.
I have never been able to get negative integers to sort properly. I have created a stripped down listview program with a few numbers in the grid for testing. (see attached program zip file).When you run the program, click on the column header that says "Val" and you will see right away that the numbers do not sort correctly.
I have a lists of different custom classes and each must be sorted severals times before the algorithm is complete. For each sort I wrote a comparer. Sofar so good. Everything works. But: By now I have abou a dozen different comparers in more than one class and it is still getting more. I wonder if there is a way to limit the number by writing a new general function that can be used to sort all lists without the need for a specific comparer.Below is what I've got so far. But it does not work.
"System.Collections.Generic.List(Of ClassA)" can not be converted into "System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object)."

I'm looking for a simple and efficient way to sort up to 60,000 strings that are 3000 chars long in reverse order and save them back out to a text file.
I originally thought of a doubly linked list, but then I realized that we aren't privileged enough to have pointers.
Is there some other way I can create an efficient linked list without pointers?
So I'm working on this school project where I'm supposed to add names and laptimes from textboxes to a list. I've got that sorted out with some help from Shaggy_Hiker (thanks!). Now what I'm trying to do is get the best laptime from the list of entries and display that in a label. I also want to sort the list by laptimes in ascending order, and I've tried the.Sort method without too much luck + all entries with a laptime over 60 min should be disqualified.
(I'm thinking of adding all of these to a seperate list which I've named feilreg, but right now all entries that doesn't meet the right criteria like empty textbox, negative laptime and so on gets saved to that list. I'd like to make it just entries over 60 min) I also can't seem to figure out why a laptime of say '32.45' won't register, it has to be with a comma like '32,45'. I've got a function in my class 'Rundetid' to format the output to two decimals maximum.

I am using a list to keep track of a number of custom Row objects as follows:
Public Rows As List(Of Row)()
Row has 2 properties, Key (a String) and Cells (an ArrayList).
I need to be able to sort each Row within Rows based on a developer defined index of the Cells ArrayList.
So for example based on the following Rows
Row1.Cells = ("b", "12")
Row2.Cells = ("a", "23")
Rows.Sort(0) would result in Row2 being first in the Rows list. What would be the best way of going about implementing this?
I'm using a Listview in VirtualMode, so I can 'add' a lot of files almost instantly. A Listview in VirtualMode does not allow sorting, so I need to sort the data myself.
