Hello,

I'm trying to use some filenames, sorted by name. I use the DIR function to get them, but there is no sorting properties. I have read in the help file that the answer is to create an array, put the names in it, and then sort them.
But with my level, It's easier said than done. Moreover, I don't have much time to learn this, cause I'm at the end of my training period, and I have already learnt a thousand of other things !!!
So, could I have a little listing that performs this ?

Thank you by advance

P.S. : I have already checked all the questions on the 101 pages, but I haven't found anything interesting.

Depending on how many files we are talking about, a simple way of sorting is to load all the entries into a listbox control and turn on the sorted property.

dim s$

listbox1.clear
listbox1.sorted = true
s$ = dir$("*.*")
while len(s$)
listbox1.additem s$
s$ = dir$
wend

OOPS! I just realized that you are talking about VBA instead of VB. Oh well...maybe this will help anyways.
