Example 1

This example demonstrates how to use the StringArray.ReverseSort method to sort a string array in decreasing order.

 

// Create Objects

StringArray StringArrayToSort;

StringArray ReverseSortedStringArray;

 

// Initialize the StringArrayToSort

StringArrayToSort = {"e", "j", "g", "b", "f", "a", "c", "h", "d", "i"};

 

 

// Copy StringArrayToSort into ReverseSortedStringArray, and reverse-sort the copy

ReverseSortedStringArray = StringArrayToSort;

ReverseSortedStringArray.ReverseSort();

 

// Report out the sorted Arrays

For i = 0 to StringArrayToSort.Dimension-1 step 1;

 Report StringArrayToSort[i], ReverseSortedStringArray[i];

End;

 

 

Output Report:
