Hi,
Can anyone please confirm that FindFiles will always return the file names in sorted (ascending order)?
Which leads on to the next question ... any thoughts or recommendations re sorting arrays generally - numeric, alphanumeric or text? Do we have to do our own code?
Cheers,
pete

Hi Pete,
StringArray is vector<string> so vectorbase::Sort should work.

Hi Mike,
Thanks. Appreciate the quick reply.
So datasets could be copied to vectors, vectors sorted and copied back?
I'm only just getting used to vectors (as opposed to datasets)!
Cheers,
pete

Dataset inherits vector properties and methods so you can sort the dataset itself. Copying to vector is unnecessary.

Unfortunately, this is true only for numeric data. For strings from Text columns, you need to do copying by GetStringArray and PutStringArray.

Hi all,
Thanks for help.
I also think retrieving the original indeces is v useful.
Cheers,
