You just have to supply the Sort method with a Comparison:

oSection.Keys.Sort(delegate(Key x, Key y){ return
string.Compare(x.Name, y.Name); })

Not sure if that C# code will play in VB. :)

I found this way to be reasonable:

In class Key, add a shared function:

Public Shared Function CompKeysByName(ByVal X As Key, ByVal Y As Key) As Integer
Return X.Name.CompareTo(Y.Name)
End Function

Then for the sort, do

oSection.Keys.Sort(AddressOf Key.CompKeysByName)

Yes, you are right, I didn't check the language too carefully before
posting. That would (almost) be the VB version of my code. :)
