| Subject: | SortList |
Hello,
OK, I'm using Lists and I need to sort the directory names I'm reading
in, in alphabetical order. SortList is absolutely useless. =]
The manual doesn't give enough info... so far my code is something like
this:
-=-
NEWTYPE.mynewtypestructure
firstword.w
dirname.s
End NEWTYPE
error=AddItem(entry())
\firstword=SizeOf.mynewtypestructure ; This is what the manual tells me
to do?
While MoreEntries
If AddItem(entry())
ifdirectorynamethenshoveitintothisentry{}
\firstword=Peek.w(&\dirname) ; This gives me a two digit numerical
value to sort the title under
EndIf
Wend
SortList entry(),entry(0)\pad
-=-
As far as I know this code is OK. But SortList doesn't change the order of
anything. Am I doing something wrong or is the command screwed, in
which case, anyone got a replacement?
Also, upon further tinkering, AddFirst doesn't work? I'm using it the same
as AddItem (with an ItemStackSize of twice the capable size of the list)
but it just adds it to the end of the list like AddItem does.
Help!
Kind regards
