I have a list of strings lets say the items are like this:
item_1
item_2
item_4
item_10
item_8
item_11
If I do list.sort() I get the following
item_1
item_10
item_11
item_2
item_4
item_8
Somehow I need to get these in order numerically but I am dealing with strings not numbers.
I am performing some filescans in a directory where I always neither get ascending or descending order of filenames. What I currently have is a logical order, but what I want to make of it is an ascending order.

I need to sort the items in a visual basic listbox numerically, that is, I have a collection of numbers I would like to be sorted increasingly.
I tried to simply use the listbox's Sorted property, but found that it treated the numbers as if they were strings, that is, it would look at the first digit, then the second, etc. to determine the order. That meant that 13 would show before 5, for example.
I thought of dumping all the numbers into an array, soring the array, and then pushing them back to the listbox, but, honestly, I don't know how to go about the sorting. I figured the array would be useless, since the listbox already acts as a pseudo array.
I've been searching for days for a solution. I've scoured the internet and other forums and tried so many things at this point that I think my brain may explode.I receive a large XML file from a third party vendor. I have converted the XML file to a a dataset and use the dataset to fill a datagridview with a specific table. I do not have a schema from the vendor and the XML file does not contain any data type information. The datagridview populates fine but all columns are defaulted to type string. This presents a problem when sorting columns that should be numeric - they sort by string comparison instead of logically numeric. I've tried numerous ways to attempt to convert the datatable columns to integer to no avail.
[Code]...
I have a datagridview which is bounded to a table m_table constructed in my code. A column named price has decimal type.
DGV.DataSource = m_table
DGV.Columns(columnPrice).ValueType = System.Type.GetType("System.Decimal")
All prices are in decimal. But I found that when clicking the column header of DGV, the price column is sorted like a string. For example:
9.0, 13.5, 8->13.5, 8, 9.0
But I want sort numerically, that is 8,9.0,13.5
I wonder why decimal type cannot be sorted numerically. How to achieve this?
In Visual Basic 2008 or 2010. How to sort numerically in this format:
From this:
"basketball" 900,000
"golf" 300,000
"bike" 600,000
"snow boarding" 800,000
"mountain climbing" 500,000
"roller blading" 100,000
"soccer shoes" 400,000
"football team" 700,000
"field track" 200,000
To this numerically:
"roller blading" 100,000
"field track" 200,000
"golf" 300,000
"soccer shoes" 400,000
"mountain climbing" 500,000
"bike" 600,000
"football team" 700,000
"snow boarding" 800,000
"basketball" 900,000
I would like to have a form application that I can drag n drop the words with their numbers into a Textbox1.text and have the Textbox1.text do the sorting.
In 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'm killing myself and dehydrating trying to get this array to sort.I have an array containing directories generated by;Dim Folders() As String = Directory.GetDirectories(RootPath)
I need them to be sorted so they appear like in windows explorer in win7 / vista. -- numerically and alphabetically by folder names.The folder names contain both letters and numbers, sometimes letters only or numbers only.

I have a program which is made with 12 labels, the first set of six are randomly generated and the second set are values obtained from the first set and the user has to choose in ascending order the numbers on the first set.The values chosen will be trasferred to the second set and then with a "check" button that set of labels have to be rearranged and compared to the user input.If the user for example manage to choose the right order, he will obtained a 6 of 6 and he will recieve a message.My problem is on the rearrage and compare part.
The code I made is very simple but is not working, basically it only check if the next value is smaller that the previous and changed its back color according to the case.
Here the code:
'check button
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim Score As Integer
Score = 1

I would like to have a correct rearrange of the numbers and introduce a message according to the accuracy of the user.
i have a windows form application with a textbox and 2 listboxes on it. The program is designed where i type in a filename in the textbox and the contents of the file appear in the listboxes. In the the first listbox the names of the students and their grades appear in the listbox. In the second listbox each of the students last name and their overall grade appear in the listbox. What i need now is a sorting algorithm that will sort the students to appear in descending order so the the student with the highest grade will appear first and the student with the lowest grade will appear last.

Ok this sort the list from A to Z alphabetical order but how do you sort in from Z to A, i.e. descending order. Summat to do with the comparer? I have no idea how to use the comparer. Or is there an easier way?
This is similar to How to keep the order of elements in hashtable, except for .NET. Is there any Hashtable or Dictionary in .NET that allows you to access it's .Index property for the entry in the order in which it was added to the collection?

I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String())
Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex)))
End Function

Basically, Im running an SQL query to the database, which obviously returns data in their fields. What I want to do is add each record into an ArrayList and split the string based on fields. I.E
CustomerID,Surname,GivenName etc
How do I go about this? so far I have:
alstData.AddRange(sLine.Split(","c))
sLine = the record from the database.
This doesnt seem to work, it just display's the data in one line with no split such as 20205SmithJohn?
