Sorting Jagged Array how to ?

[Carlos]

Ok I have the following Jagged array

double[][] mData = new double[259200][];
for (int x = 0; x <= 259200-1; x++)
{
mData[x]=new double[3];
}

And I load the data in to the array :

while (SR.Peek() >=0)
{
try
{
RecordLine = SR.ReadLine();
if (RecordLine != null)
{
TempStrVal=
RecordLine.Split(',');
mData[RecNum][0]=double.Parse(TempStrVal[0]);
mData[RecNum][1]=double.Parse(TempStrVal[1]);
mData[RecNum][2]=double.Parse(TempStrVal[2]);
RecNum++;
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}

Now I need to sort the array using the third column or element of the second
array keeoing the values that belong to that element same, like when you
have three columns in excel and select to sort by column C so all values
rearrange. Any idea How can I do that.

Thansk in advance

Yes - use Array.Sort, passing in an instance of a class which
implements IComparer. That class's Compare method would cast both its
parameters to a double[], and compare the third elements of those
arrays.

Do you have any sample code or site where I can check it ?

Thanks

public class MyArrayComparer : IComparer
{
public int Compare(object x, object y)
{
double[] arrayX = (double[])x;
double[] arrayY = (double[])y;

return arrayX[2].CompareTo(arrayY[2]);
}
}

then, in your main code:

Array.Sort(mData, new MyArrayComparer());

Carlos, it's really quite simple. All you need is a class implementing
IComparer. For example:

public class ArrayComparer : IComparer
{
// IComparer implementation
public int Compare(object obj1, object obj2)
{
int result;

double[] m_Temp1 = obj1 as double[];
double[] m_Temp2 = obj2 as double[];
if (m_Temp1 != null && m_Temp2 != null)
{
if (m_Temp1[2] < m_Temp2[2])
result = -1;
else if (m_Temp1[2] > m_Temp2[2])
result = 1;
else
result = 0;

return result;
}
else
{
throw new ArgumentException("Objects are not arrays of
doubles!");
}
}
}

Then you can simply use the following to sort your array:

IComparer myComparer = new ArrayComparer();
Array.Sort(mData, myComparer);

Of course, you should add some error checking to make sure the arrays have
the expected structure (and do in fact contain three elements).
