How to sort the array of string in QTP ?

Sometimes when you are testing a application, you need to check that the values are in sorted order.

Here is a sample program that sorts the array of string using strComp function in QTP.

Example -

a = array("bangalore","surat","Pune",1)

For i=0 to ubound(a)

For j=0 to ubound(a)
If strComp(a(i),a(j),1) < 0  Then
temp = a(i)
a(i) = a(j)
a(j) = temp
End If
Next

Next

For i=0 to  ubound(a)

   print a(i)
  'It will print 1,bangalore, Pune, surat

Next


Please note that above example will sort the array in ascending order. To sort the array in descending order, you have to use below Code.

a = array("bangalore","surat","Pune",1)

For i=0 to ubound(a)

For j=0 to ubound(a)
If strComp(a(i),a(j),1) > 0  Then
temp = a(i)
a(i) = a(j)
a(j) = temp
End If
Next

Next

For i=0 to  ubound(a)

   print a(i)
  'It will print  Pune, surat,bangalore,1
