sorting - IComparable 排序等效于 VB6

Question

有没有人遇到/创建了 VB6 中对象集合的通用排序的体面实现？

如果是这样，有人愿意提供代码或链接吗？

Answer 1

这个对我有用。

请注意，我是 不是 作者。 Function 标题中提到了原始来源，但该站点现在似乎已经消失了。

实现它的部分是VB鲜为人知或经常被忽视的CallByName命令。

Public Function SortItemCollection(col As Collection, ByVal sPropertyName As String, _
   ByVal bolSortAscending As Boolean, ByVal bolCompareNumeric As Boolean) As Collection
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Purpose  : Sort a collection of objects using one of the object's properties
'           as the sorting field. That property must be of a primitive
'           data type (string or numeric)
'
'Prereq.  : !!! Important !!! The scope of property sPropertyName needs to be
'           declared as Public.
'Parameter: -
'Returns  : -
'Note     : The idea is to have a class that is added to a collection object.
'           Pass that collection to this function below and the property name
'           is the “field” within the class that is to be sorted on.
