Need to sort a string array

[sumitd]

Exactly as FireFox pointed out. ArraySort doesn't work.

Eash array value is a version. Also there are no spaces in the input . Its simply the version numbers (5.50.0.1,5.40.980.2,6.50.660.0,5.50.0.100,6.50.1.9,6.40.4.8,..... and so on)

Have you tried the examples provided by me and czardas?

Br, FireFox.

[sumitd]

@FireFox ... Yes. In both cases i get an "array variable has incorrect number of subscripts" error.

[FireFox]

Your array must have 1 dimension.

If you make an _ArrayDisplay of your array you should only have 1 col.

@ Firefox .. Yes all version names are stored in 1D array. Function provided by you and czardas also uses 1D array.. still the error

[FireFox]

What does this script return? (replace $avArray by your array)

ConsoleWrite(UBound($avArray, 0) & ", " & UBound($avArray, 1) & @CrLf)

yes i know. firefox. i am fully aware of the problems

my suggestion aimed to rewrite the obove algorithm so it fits the needs, instead of looping thru the array, then use arraysort and loop again thru the array as in csarda's last post.

understandable ?

I have no idea how you managed that. I ran both examples without error.

Anyway  @FireFoxI like your version better.

@FireFox

I like your version better.

Thanks, I havn't tested yours so I don't know which one is faster/more reliable.

Sure, understood

My example has a 1D array input and output. I'm sure it can be improved though. For example: I didn't know about _VersionCompare() when I wrote it.
