Hello. I am new to programming and I am trying to find a way to sort an array of numbers. For Example, if I have 30 textboxes with a number inside, I think i could insert the numbers to this array using a For...Next statement. But then, I would like to sort the numbers once they are in the array so I could then put them into another set of textboxes(top 10). I could also do this using a For...Next statement, but sorting the array is what I need help with. Any help will be greately appreciate it. Thanks.

u can use sequential/bubble/quick sort techniques. here is one of the logic for sorting

Dim a(5) as Integer
Dim i as Integer
Dim j as Integer

a(0) = 10
a(1) = 9
a(2) = 13
a(3) = 45
a(4) = 7

For i = 0 to 4
    For j = i + 1 to 4
        If a(i) > a(j) Then
'            swap the number in those two locations
'            For Eg: if x = 10 and y = 9 then
'                x            y
'               10           9
'             Since 10 > 9 we swap x  and  y
'                x = x + y   =>  x = 10 + 9 = 19
'                y = x - y    =>  y = 19 - 9 = 10 => y = 10
'                x = x - y    =>  x = 19 - 10 = 9 => x = 9
            a(i) = a(i) + a(j)
            a(j) = a(i) - a(j)
            a(i) = a(i) - a(j)
        End If
    Next j
Next i

'Now the array would hold the values in ascending order
'To sort in descending order just make the following change
'If a(i) < a(j) Then

hope this answers ur question. If ur need is something else other than this then plz let know.

i have learnt bubble, selection and insertion. are there any more?? if so, please do explain.
