Why does the code below output this:
"v a" (118,32,97)
"w a" (119,32,97)
"v b" (118,32,98)
"w b" (119,32,98)
"v c" (118,32,99)
"w c" (119,32,99)
and not this (as one would expect if Array.Sort sorted by character
code value):
"v a" (118,32,97)
"v b" (118,32,98)
"v c" (118,32,99)
"w a" (119,32,97)
"w b" (119,32,98)
"w c" (119,32,99)
Is there any way to make Array.Sort sort strings by character code
value?
---------------------------
string[] strings = new string[] {
"w b",
"v a",
"v c",
"w a",
"v b",
"w c"
};
Array.Sort(stri ngs);
PrintStrings(st rings);
private void PrintStrings(st ring[] strings)
{
for (int i=0; i<strings.Lengt h; i++)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(String.Forma t(" \"{0}\" ({1})",
strings[i],
GetASCIICharCod es(strings[i])));
}
}
private string GetASCIICharCod es(string s)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() ;
for (int i=0; i<s.Length; i++)
{
char c = Convert.ToChar( s.Substring(i, 1));
sb.Append(Strin g.Format("{0}{1 }",
((int)c).ToStri ng(),
i<s.Length-1 ? "," : ""));
}
return sb.ToString();
}

Hello,
Array.Sort(myAr ray) method uses default comparer to compare objects. It
gets comparer as Comparer.Defaul t which is a comparer associated with
the Thread.CurrentC ulture of the current thread. So it depends on the
current culture how does it behave in this scenario.
I have run your code and it displayed the strings in your desired
format.
Cheers :)

Hi Niklas,
As Maqsood said, it is probably caused by your current culture.
As an example, for me, trying to sort the strings
"aaa"
"bbb"
"ccc"
I end up with
"bbb"
"ccc"
"aaa"
because 'aa' in a surname is pronounced as 'å' the last character in the Norwegian alphabet.
Hopefully we will be able to turn off or at least change this behaviour, without having to change culture, in Windows Longhorn.
Similarly you may encountere 'smart sorting' especially for numbers where
"12"
"1A"
is sorted as
"1A"
"12"
because Microsoft has decided that humans in general expect it that way and does not see numeric characters as characters, but numbers and completely different from other characters. http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archiv...05/346933.aspx
At least you can turn off this behaviour using TweakUI http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archiv...01/404830.aspx

Array.Sort(stri ngs, new Comparer(new
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo("sv-SE"))); // Swedish
.... produces the same error.
This is wierd because V comes before W in the swedish alphabet, so one
would think that sorting with a swedish CultureInfo would produce a
correct result.
If I on the other hand use
Array.Sort(mySt ringArray, new
Comparer(System .Globalization. CultureInfo.Inv ariantCulture)) ;
.... it works.
Thanks alot for the help!

The subject might be misleading.
Regardless, is this code valid:

int main(void) {
double array = { { 3.14 }, { 42.6 } };

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.
