sorting a array of structures

[rotsey]

Hi,

 

I have an ArrayList of structures and I want to sort the array on different members of the structure so that I can give a rank each element of the array.

 

So I thought I would sort it for each member in turn add add a rank member to the structure for each member i want to sort

 

Confusing I bet.

 

How else would you do this? I want to step through a database fill an array then sort by differen members and then rank each member in the array so that I can create a table with the member values and there rank next to it

 

Thanks for any help given

I would create an IComparer that can perform any/all required sorts, or you could create a class for each type of sorts. The ArrayList.Sort method is overloaded and one or more methods take an IComparer as an argument.
