Working with vb 2008 I need to sort an array of strings: (for example:)
dim list1() as String={"CONE0Z08TTTBALL","BARE0U04TTTBALL",
"APTN0S01TTTBALL","SPTN0K02TTTBALL"}
sorted from 5th character (not first):
There is any way using the Array class sort?
You can use linq to do that. I changed APTN0K02TTTBALL to SPTN0K02TTTBALL since that looks like a typo.
Dim list1() As String = {"CONE0Z08TTTBALL", "BARE0U04TTTBALL",
"APTN0S01TTTBALL", "SPTN0K02TTTBALL"}
Dim result = list1.OrderBy(Function(q) q.Substring(5)).ToArray
For Each s As String In result
Console.WriteLine(s)
Next
Output:
SPTN0K02TTTBALL
APTN0S01TTTBALL
BARE0U04TTTBALL
CONE0Z08TTTBALL
Note: If by 5th character, you meant 1-based, change the substring argument (which is 0 based) . Also, this is an alpha sort, so if you want to sort by the value of a numeral, you should also convert to integer. Not sure which you mean.

SPTN0K02TTTBALLisnt in the array - is that a typo?VPTN0S01TTTBALLisnt in the list...I get the drift though
