I knew that I was not clear enough. I need to sort a array of integer using
a comparator. The reason is that i'm not really sorting integer, I sort a 2D
array of string with a 1D array of intger. Where the array of integer is a
reference to the row of the 2D array. When the sort library calls the
comparator, I don't compare the values of the array but the value reference
by it.
Index RowArray() StringArray()
1 1 B
2 2 E
3 3 A
4 4 C
5 5 D
After the sort
Index RowArray() StringArray()
1 3 B
2 1 E
3 4 A
4 5 C
5 2 D
Only the RowArray() is changed, I don't want StringArray() to change. But
I'm able to display StringArray() in alphabetical order using the RowArray()
What I need is to be have a sort fonction with a integer array as parameter
SortLibrary ( theList() as integer,
c as IntegerComparator,
firstIndex as Integer,
lastIndex as Integer )
And obviously the integerComparator
I've just finish doing so using the string sort. But I have to copy and
convert the integer array in a string array. And once the sort is done, I
have to copy and convert back to a integer array. But It works like a charm.
Because I need a Comparator, I can't use RB array.sort.
I hope I'm a bit more clearer.
Thanks
Daniel
