Array.RankSort(Object) Method

Top

Description

Sorts all input StringArray, Array, and TimeSpanArray arguments in the order specified by the calling Array. Elements of the calling array should be integers where a positive value indicates an ascending sort and negative indicates a descending sort. For example, for a calling Array of {3, -1, 2}, the objects passed in as arguments will first be sorted based on ascending order of the third argument, then descending order of the first argument, and finally ascending order of the second argument. A value of zero in the calling Array stops the sorting, unless the zero is the first element of the calling Array, in which case it is treated as a 1.
