just array.sort desc simple one dimension with writing comparer???

i build a string[]

string eProduct = "#blah#ablah#bbbb";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(eProduct);
eProduct = sb.Replace("#","").ToString();
string[] aProducts= eProduct.Split(';');

then I sort asc or desc
Array.Sort so simple, is there not some just as simple without writing
comparer etc
just to Array.Sort DESC?

if( (numberDiv%2) != 0 ){

//sort desc PLEASE

Array.Sort(aProducts, DESC); ???????? does not work
else
//sort asc
Array.Sort(aProducts);

Cindy,

Unfortunately, no, there is not. However, writing such an
implementation is completely trivial. You could do it in less than five
minutes. Just negate the value returned to you by the static Compare method
on string (when passing the two strings).

Hope this helps.

Another implementation would be to simply:

1. sort
2. reverse
