Listbox sort

[Ali Chambers]

Hi,

I have a bit of a problem with a sort procedure I need to do. I have a
list of items in a listbox, eg:-

2.3%<A other text here>
-4%<B other text here>
10%<C other text here>
-9.3%<D other text here>
22%<E other text here>

How do I sort these listbox items in numerical descending order to:

22%<E other text here>
10%<C other text here>
2.3%<A other text here>
-4%<B other text here>
-9.3%<D other text here>

Thanks,
Alex

Use 'Array.Sort' with a custom comparer
(<URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/samples/codingtechnique/CompareOperator.zip>).

Erm, how? I'm new to coding. Could you give an example.

Thanks.

Sorry - I missed your URL for the download. Do you have any
instructions on how to use the code?
