bubble sort

[allytrice]

I'm trying to sort people inside a listbox based on the number of their bookings

 int iEnd = ListBox1->Items->Count - 1;
 AnsiString str1,str2,temp;
 while (x)
	{
		x = false;
		for (int i = 0; i <iEnd ; i++)
		 {
			str1 = ListBox1->Items->Strings[i];
			str2 = ListBox1->Items->Strings[i+1];	
			str1 = str1.SubString(str1.AnsiPos("#")+1,100);
			str2 = str2.SubString(str2.AnsiPos("#")+1,100);
			if (str1.ToInt() < str2.ToInt()) 
			 {
			   temp = ListBox1->Items->Strings[i+1];
			   ListBox1->Items->Strings[i+1] = ListBox1->Items->Strings[i];
				ListBox1->Items->Strings[i] = temp;
			 }
		 }
		 iEnd--;
	} 

But it only sorts the first 2 people only

Are you using C++ Builder??

[Athar]

Sort your data using std::sort first, then add it to the listbox.

[allytrice]

Yes but the emabarcadero c++ builder 2010.....using std::sort it gives me some unresolved data link error

[andywestken]

OK, if you're using Emabarcadero c++ builder, there might be another way to solve your problem.

I've never use C++ Builder, but I have used Delphi and Lazarus, and the classes do look very similar to me.

If Builder provides you with the TStringList class and it has a CustomSort method, and TListBox's Items is a TStrings, then you might be able to port this Delphi code to C++

Custom sort a TCheckListBox

Thanx :-)

[andywestken]

Did the "Delphi" style approach work???

[allytrice]

Yes it did :-)
