Hello all,

I have a win32ole object collection that I want to map, then sort, to an
array?

Each item has #Name property. I'm thinking of making an arry of hashes
a'la :

items =3D []
oleItems.each {|o| items << {o.Name =3D> o} }
items

[{"0172"=3D>#<WIN32OLE:0x2a88570>}, {"0171"=3D>#<WIN32OLE:0x2a88540>}]

But then, how do I sort the array of hashes ?

Is there a better approach ?

Sorry. What I gave you is wrong. Daniel has a good solution.

Try this...

items =3D []
oleItems.each {|o| items << {o.Name =3D> o} }
items.sort {|x, y| x.Name <=3D> y.Name} =20

You can try this (apologies if i misunderstood you problem):

oleitems.map{|o| o.Name}.sort

This makes an array of Name values, then sorts it. I couldn't understand if=

you want values as an array or hash.
