Parameters

array

A one-dimensional Array to sort. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	array is null. [Edit]
RankException	array has more than one dimension. [Edit]
ArgumentException	One or more elements in array do not implement the IComparable interface. [Edit]
InvalidOperationException	One or more elements in array that are used in a comparison do not implement the IComparable interface. [Edit]

Remarks

This version of Array.Sort(Array) is equivalent to Array.Sort(Array)(array, null, array.GetLowerBound(0), array.Length, null).

Each element of array is required to implement the IComparable interface to be capable of comparisons with every other element in array.

[Edit]

Example

This example demonstrates the Array.Sort(Array) method.

C# Example

using System; public class ArraySortExample { public static void Main() { string[] strAry = { "All's", "well", "that", "ends", "well" }; Console.Write( "The original string array is: " ); foreach ( String str in strAry ) Console.Write( str + " " ); Console.WriteLine(); Array.Sort( strAry ); Console.Write( "The sorted string array is: " ); foreach ( string str in strAry ) Console.Write( str + " " ); } }

The output is

The original string array is: All's well that ends well
The sorted string array is: All's ends that well well
