qsort can sort any way you want, you just have to provide your own comparison function.
from qsort(3) The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. If two members compare as equal, their order in the sorted array is undefined. from strcmp(3) The strcmp() function compares the two strings s1 and s2. It returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2. See how nicely that works out? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Kingston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 4:31 PM Subject: Re: Sorting skills Alphabeticly > How would I go about using qsort for an alpha sorting, looks like it just > does numbers. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Charles" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Dale Kingston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 11:15 AM > Subject: Re: Sorting skills Alphabeticly > > > > qsort > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Dale Kingston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[email protected]> > > Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 10:03 AM > > Subject: Sorting skills Alphabeticly > > > > > > > I was wondering if anyone knew of a library or away that I could sort > > > something alphabeticly.
