sorting array of structures using CompareTo

[here2learn]

Hi,

has anyone got a simple solution to sorting an array of structures using the IComparable.Compare interface and the array.CompareTo method ?

the structure contains an integer and double field, I want to sort on the double field

any help ? cheers

Example:

Public Structure Player
Implements IComparable
  Dim playername As String
  Dim hiscore As Short
 
  Public Function compareto(ByVal obj As Object) As Integer _
  Implements IComparable.CompareTo
    Return Me.hiscore.CompareTo(DirectCast(obj, Player).hiscore)
  End Function
 
End Structure

If you create a Players array of type Player here, Array.Sort(Players) will sort ascending on the Short member hiscore.
