Sorting a list

Monkey Forums/Monkey Beginners/Sorting a list

I'm trying to use the Sort method for a list of Int's and keep coming up with an : Unable to compare items error.

	
Field player1:List<Int> = New List<Int>()

' some code to add items to the list (may contain duplicate values)

player1.Sort(True)


I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.

Use IntList

Sorry if this sounds stupid, what do you mean by Use IntList?

Read http://www.monkey-x.com/docs/html/Modules_monkey.list_IntList.html
You should also look at the Compare function for Lists etc. http://www.monkey-x.com/docs/html/Modules_monkey.list_List.html#Compare

IntList http://www.monkey-x.com/docs/html/Modules_monkey.list_IntList.html

Compare() is abstract method in List class. You should extend list class to compare (yours) list items or use IntList(), FloatList(), StringList() to build in types.

Thank you guys, I didn't quite understand what you were saying. For the benefit of anyone else who runs into this issue, I simply needed to use:

Field deck:IntList = New IntList


instead of the deck:List = New List
