Sorting a hashtable - please help!!

H ieveryone,

Can you help me please? I am trying to sort a hashtable but get the
error: "Cannot implicity convert type void to
System.Collections.ArrayList"

I am doing the following:
****BEGIN CODE****
public ArrayList SomeMethod()
{
Hashtable myHT = new HashTable();

ArrayList keys = GetKeys (HT);

return keys.sort();
}
//Return an arraylist of Hashtable keys
public ArrayList GetKeys(Hashtable table)
{
return (new ArrayList(table.Keys));
}
****END CODE****
However under the "keys.Sort()" method call I get the error: "Cannot
implicity convert type void to System.Collections.ArrayList"

I'm stuck. Would greatly appreciate any comments/suggestions/
corrections that you may be able to offer.

Thanking you,
Al.
