Fast binary sort for strings in a list?

[camille]

Hello

Has anyone ever written a fast sort function (for strings inside a list) for Windows that compares by character value?
Which means that e.g.:

Code: Select all

! < ... < A < B ...< \ ... < a < b ... <  } ...

It would be cool if this would be UTF-8 compatible...

The normal SortList() doesn't work this way and something like:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM temp ORDER BY FullPath COLLATE BINARY ASC

within SQLite sorts differently as well...

Regards,

Show your example with SortList. I did it and it works for me. I want to see yours.

Don't ask me why but now it works here as well...

I'm getting old I fear

Thank you, AZJIO!
