Not sure why you ask in an XML group about sorting with C#. Anyway, there is
Array.Sort
a static method which has various overloads.
And there is
ArrayList.Sort
to sort an ArrayList.
You also need to check the IComparable interface that classes can
implement to allow comparison (for sorting for instance).
And there is the IComparer interface that you can implement to allow
comparsion between objects.
Check the .NET documentation on those methods and interfaces, if you
have any further questions on that then you are better off asking in a
..NET framework or C# group, unless you want to do something XML specific
but then explain what.

How does Ruby compare to Python?? How good is DESIGN of Ruby compared to Python? Python's design is godly. I'm wondering if Ruby's is godly too. I've heard it has solid OOP design but then I've also heard there are lots of weird ways to do some things kinda like Perl which is bad for me. Any other ideas?

Hi, in my program, I have to sort containers of objects which can be 2000 items big in some cases. Since STL containers are based around copying and since I need to sort these containers quite frequently, I thought it'd be a better idea to manage additional containers which are initialized with pointers to the objects in the primary containers and sort those (only pointers have to be copied around then). However, that also means if I...

Or, how would I iterate over the collection pulling out the dates in chronological order? ...

Hello I'm sorry for mistakes - my English isn't very well. I've got the problem with sorting objects in ArrayList. If I put there only strings, Sort method works great, but it doesnt work when I put there objects (even if ToString method is override in object class). I think that i have to override a comparator in my object class, but even if it is correc I dont know how to do it... I'd be very greatfull if Somebody could help me.

Hi, I've been experimenting with the ASP.Net GridView and encountered some interesting issues that I thought I would share. I have a page that loads a GridView with a generic collection of objects.

Here is what I did to make it work.
