PropertyDescriptorCollection.cs

Sorts the members of this collection, using the default sort for this collection, which is usually alphabetical.

public:
 virtual System::ComponentModel::PropertyDescriptorCollection ^ Sort();

public virtual System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection Sort ();

abstract member Sort : unit -> System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection
override this.Sort : unit -> System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection

Public Overridable Function Sort () As PropertyDescriptorCollection

Returns

PropertyDescriptorCollection

A new PropertyDescriptorCollection that contains the sorted PropertyDescriptor objects.

Sort(IComparer)

Source:

PropertyDescriptorCollection.cs

Sorts the members of this collection, using the specified IComparer.

public:
 virtual System::ComponentModel::PropertyDescriptorCollection ^ Sort(System::Collections::IComparer ^ comparer);

public virtual System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection Sort (System.Collections.IComparer? comparer);

abstract member Sort : System.Collections.IComparer -> System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection
override this.Sort : System.Collections.IComparer -> System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection

Public Overridable Function Sort (comparer As IComparer) As PropertyDescriptorCollection

Parameters

comparer

Sort(String[])

Source:

PropertyDescriptorCollection.cs

Sorts the members of this collection. The specified order is applied first, followed by the default sort for this collection, which is usually alphabetical.

public:
 virtual System::ComponentModel::PropertyDescriptorCollection ^ Sort(cli::array <System::String ^> ^ names);

public virtual System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection Sort (string[]? names);

abstract member Sort : string[] -> System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection
override this.Sort : string[] -> System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection

Public Overridable Function Sort (names As String()) As PropertyDescriptorCollection

Parameters

names

String[]

An array of strings describing the order in which to sort the PropertyDescriptor objects in this collection.

Returns

PropertyDescriptorCollection

A new PropertyDescriptorCollection that contains the sorted PropertyDescriptor objects.

Examples

The following code example defines the sort order for the Sort method. If the PropertyDescriptorCollection contains four PropertyDescriptor objects with the names A, B, C, and D, the properties of myNewColl would be sorted in the order D, B, A, and C.

array<String^>^ temp0 = {"D","B"};
myNewColl = this->Sort( temp0 );

myNewColl = this.Sort(new string[]{"D", "B"});

myNewColl = Me.Sort(New String() {"D", "B"})
