Hello Mark,
Good idea. You could refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks/msdn/nospam.asp
&SD=msdn for an email alias that you could send feedback to.
Also, I will forward your feedback. I think for now, we may try to include
such email alias in our email signature.
Thanks very much.
Best regards,
Yanhong Huang

!Yanhong,
!
! You're welcome. It would be helpful to have an e-
!mail address or some web form on microsoft's website
!(even under the MSDN Subscriptions Download area) to
!submit suggestions and provide feedback. It would better
!to have a centralized spot to submit them to as opposed
!to just posting in the forums this way.

!>!>Hello Mark,

!>!>Kevin is right. .NET has a great way to deal with
!custom
!>!sorting.
!>!>
!>!>You need to create a class that implements IComparer

!>!>
!>!>You can cast both Object's to FileInfo compare their

!be
!>!higher and
!>!>lower.
!>!>
!>!>When you call Array.Sort, you can pass in an instance
!of
!>!your IComparer to be used in the comparison.
!>!>
!>!>For an example:

!>!>
!>!>import System.IO
!>!>import System
!>!>import System.Collections
!>!>
!>!>var files : FileInfo[] = new DirectoryInfo
!>!("c:\\temp").GetFiles()
!>!>System.Array.Sort(files, new FileSizeSorter)
!>!>print(files)
!>!>
!>!>class FileSizeSorter implements IComparer
!>!>{
!>!> function Compare(a : Object, b : Object) : int
!>!> {
!>!> var f1 = FileInfo(a)
!>!> var f2 = FileInfo(b)
!>!>
!>!> return f1.LastWriteTime - f2.LastWriteTime // you
!need
!>!to change this line of code
