##vbScript - A Multi-column Sort With Minimal Coding Please see my post [vbScript - The Basics](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/516400/vbscript-the-basics) for more details on vbScript. A previous post dealt with sorting. The code easily handles sorting simple things like lists of words, lines of text - cases where you only had to compare two …

Part 2 of exploring/tasting the Swift language takes a look at dictionaries; process flow controls like loops, if/else and switch/case; functions and sorting. I hope I can follow this up with part 3, a closer look at class operations.

The bubble sort is slow and I thought it would be interesting to visualize the progress as it sorts an array of integers.

A little experiment with custom sorting the result of a word frequency count using Google's Go language.

Use Google's modern Go language (aka. golang) to convert a denary number (base 10) to a roman numeral. Just a good exercise to explore Go's map, slice, sort and for loop features. Note that in Go the **:=** is shorthand for assigning a type (by inference) and a value to …

A Python sort with a helper function to allow for mixed order sort like age descending and weight ascending.

This short snippet shows you how to preprocess a text to remove punctuation marks, then do a word frequency count using Counter() from the Python module collections. Finally, two sorts are applied to display words with matching frequency in alphabetical order.

This is a short bit of code that shows how to implement sorting on columns in a details-mode ListView. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome. One possible improvement would be to modify the column headers to indicate which column is being sorted and in which direction.

Sometimes sorting data can be easy and sometimes it can be difficult. If you have data in a listview you can spend a great deal of time writing ICompare functions. This is appropriate for non-trivial applications but can be a little intimidating for inexperienced programmers. Also, it is a problem …

There are many places on internet for great help regarding many things. Proper implementation of really fast routines for sorting data however is not common. I am not claiming these routines to be the fastest around, but their ease of implementation and use may make them welcome. As a thank …

By coding algorithm and using some liberal prints with small set of data, you can learn to understand the basic algorithms better than just reading about them. Here simple selection sort.

This does not look very efficient with transponation, sort and transponation back, so I am happy to hear about better alternatives.

I did this code to compare to Delphi code in Delphi forum [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/pascal-and-delphi/threads/357771"]TListBox and sorting[/URL] which ran in my computer compiled in free Lazarus environment at time 7,235 s for generate and insert to listbox, 13,265 s sorting the listbox.

The past few days I've posted some sorting routines customized to the tasks they were required to solve. Since I have a bunch of different sorting routines already coded, I decided to post them. Please note that some of these sorts are fast, but not a single one is as …

This is yet another bubble sort.
