This is a great tip. I had forgotten that SortWith was added to the
language.
The only modification I'd make to your code is, if possible, cache the
sorting data within a property of the class so it does not have to be
recalculated during each sort. So this:
sortArray(i) = 10000 * myClassArray(i).a + 100 * myClassArray
(i).b + myClassArray(c)
Would become this:
sortArray(i) = myClassArray(i).SortData
I'd bet that would make a measurable difference if you had thousands of
objects to sort.
