I knew I should have thought about it a bit more. My method will

adding a second one to the dictionary will erase the first. Before
adding an element you could test the dictionary, but I'm not sure
what you'd do then. It may depend on what you want to use the sort
for.
For my particular project each object would have a unique id, so your
idea would work in this case. But I think I found the proper way of
doing it:
Sub Sort(Extends objs() As myCustomClass)
Dim x() As Integer
For k As Integer = 0 To UBound(objs)
If (objs(k) Is Nil) Then
objs.Remove(k)
Else
x.Append(objs(k).SortByValue)
End If
Next
x.SortWith(objs)
End Sub
Basically, you pick a value to sort the array by... in this code snip
it is an Integer property called SortByValue. I suppose I could
modify it so that it could take different sortBy values, such as by
Timestamp, name, etc.
Notice that this is extending an array of myCustomClass.
