Hello,
Let's say that we have a hashtable with some person objects.
This persons have a name.
Now I want to sort the people objects inside the hashtable by name.
How can the hashtable do this for me?
Thanks! 5 7731

You can't - a hashtable is effectively a set, not a sequence: it
doesn't have an order.
What you *can* do is:
ArrayList al = new ArrayList (hashtable.Valu es);
al.Sort (myNameComparat or);

Alternatively, there is the SortedList class which is a hybrid between
the Hashtable and ArrayList. (it sorts based on the key)
Although, it sounds as if your Hashtable stores the Person objects as
the value in which case this wouldn't work.
Nonetheless, now you know there's a SortedList. :)

Hi Arjen,
As long as hashtables are not ordered collections you cannot sort them.
However, you can maintain a separate list along with the hashtable which
will keep the order of the elements and you can sort this list and use it
latter to retreive the elements.
Take a look on System.Collecti ons.SortedList as well. It might be exactly
what you are after.

I am binding a hashTable to a dropDownList to pick a State (key: like New
York) and sends the state designation (value: NY) to a filtering procedure.
I have entered the states in the hashTable in alphabetical order, but the
dropDownList renders them in a non-order list.
code snippet:
Dim state as New hashTable
state.Add("Alabama", "AL")
state.Add("Alaska", "AK")

I'm counting the frequency of word occurances and would like to return
a key/value list sorted descending by frequency.
So I need to quickly see if a word (key) is in the list, but later
sort the list descending by values.
Any ideas on how to do this efficiently?
Thanks,

I am using a hashtable for my application. Its similar to word count

the VALUE and not the KEY. The sample data of the table is given below
which is sorted according the URL as in Dictionary:
www.webroot.com (11)

www.weddingprints.com (4)

Hi all,
I have a datagrid in an ASP.Net 1.1 web application which is binded to
an HashTable.
The grid has several columns and I want to sort the results by one of
those columns.
Are you aware of any way to do it?
Usually, I perform these sorts by changing the SQL queries behind the
datagrid.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
