Re: C# sorting a list of strings

Sorts the elements in an entire one-dimensional Array using the IComparable interface implemented by each element of the Array. [C#] [Serializable] public static void Sort( Array array ); Parameters array The one-dimensional Array to sort. -- ... a reference to Presidente Arbusto. -- [link\|http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001417.html\|Geoffrey K.
