The module SortMBS

module SortMBS
Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
module Sort MBS Util Plugin 24.0 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Useful sort methods for Xojo arrays.
Example 
// fill two arrays
Var test1() As String
Var test2() As String

For i As Integer = 1 To 100000
  test1.append Str(i)
  test2.append Str(i)
Next

// now sort using Xojo and MBS
Var m1 As Double = Microseconds
test1.Sort
Var m2 As Double = Microseconds
sortArrayMBS test2
Var m3 As Double = Microseconds

// check times
Var d1 As Double = m2-m1
Var d2 As Double = m3-m2

MessageBox d1.ToString+" in Xojo, "+d2.ToString+" in MBS"

Functions to sum up values in arrays, copying values or comparing values is much faster inside the plugin, than if you code this yourself in Xojo. Methods are available as method in SortMBS module as well as using extends on the Array directly.

Allows the usage of delegates for deciding how to sort yourself.
