RE: [DUG]: sorting files

I didn't think it was that obvious - one could easily be tempted to write a complicated date sorting routine...

O k....thanks for pointing out the obvious  :)

 

What II am really looking for, is what kind of list I should use.

I am figuring I will need to do something like list.addobject('blah',pointer(datenumber))

But what list can I use or would be best to use that i can sort by the datanumber ? (other than a TListview)

 

Cheers, Jeremy

Once you have the date as a TDateTime you just need to sort it on a straight numerical basis.

Hi all.

This is related to my earlier post about TSearchRec.

 

What I have is a dir that has files in it with names that are unique.
What I need to do, is sort the files so that they are in order of date and time in a list. (TstringList)

 

Does anyone have any bright ideas on the best way to do this ?
It woudl need to be res. quick at it too.

 

Cheers, Jeremy coulter
