Description

Syntax

Array.Sort(Array) has the following syntax.


public static void Sort(
  Array array
)

Parameters

Array.Sort(Array) has the following parameters.

array - The one-dimensional Array to sort.

Returns

Array.Sort(Array) method returns

Example

The following code example shows how to sort the values in an Array using the default comparer and a custom comparer that reverses the sort order.


/*from   w w w  . j av a2 s. c o  m*/
using System;
using System.Collections;

class myReverserClass : IComparer  {

      // Calls CaseInsensitiveComparer.Compare with the parameters reversed. 
      int IComparer.Compare( Object x, Object y )  {
          return( (new CaseInsensitiveComparer()).Compare( y, x ) );
      }

}
   
public class SamplesArray  {
   public static void Main()  {

      String[] myArr = { "The", "A", "W", "X", "V", "Q", "!", "2", "3" };
      IComparer myComparer = new myReverserClass();

      Array.Sort( myArr, 1, 3 );
      Array.Sort( myArr, 1, 3, myComparer );
      Array.Sort( myArr );
      Array.Sort( myArr, myComparer );
   }
}

The code above generates the following result.
