[Gambas-user] A string[].sort issue

Fri Aug 31 19:27:43 CEST 2018

Thank You Charlie.
I've tested it and can confirm that the fastest method is... yours!
I've attached a little project with the test. It works with the four
methods I've got, Tincho (a friend from gambas-es.org), Shodi (mine),
Charlie and Matt. It works with a 10.000 lines listbox.

The speed order is Charli, Matt, Shordi, Tincho.
The simplest (and crude) is mine, the fastest is yours, the longest is
Tincho's and the most sofisticated is Matt's. Four brains one problem...

Best regards
