Sorting-Order for CFileFind
Zones: C++ Programming Language, Windows MFC Programming
Tags: c++, Vsual C++ 6.0
Hello Everyone!

I use the CFileFind-Function to get files in my Archiv-Folder and then make a String from the Date and the Name of the File and put this string  (like "31-12-06 10:30 Filename.doc") into a CStringArray. This way I get the alphabetical Order of the files. Is this alway like this? And what should i do to get the files in the last write date order? I know I could change the date format in the format "2007-12-31 10:30 Filename.doc" and then sort the list, but that is not so good readable. Is there a way to change the order I get the files from the FindFile Funktion? Like "dir /OD" in DOS? I could also use a differned Function.

You must order the file yourself. FileFind / FindNextFile doesn't order the files for you.

Hi alb66

Thanks for your answer.

I thought it might be so.

And is there any other similar function there i can get the result sortet? In my special case I anyway search for ALL files in the directory.

I don't know any API doing sort.
There is a project at
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/fileinfo.aspx
with a class that can retrieve and order files by size or by name, ascending or descending.
It should be very easy to add the capabilities of order by date with a little modify of AddFileInfo() method.

Using a 'std::list' (http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/List.html) instead of a CStringArray makes sorting a opiece of cake, e.g.

@alb66: The Class you posted seems to be what I need. I will test it

@jkr: If I do it this way I would have to use the 2007-31-12 12:40 Format instead of the 31-12-2007 12:40 for the time, which I dont want to. But thanks for the tip - I could use that maybe on another location there the sorting is done by Hand.
