stringgrid sorting

I dont remember for sure, but i think this function is included in delphi 6 or 7.

But if it isn't you have to do it yourself.
I dont have the time right now to do a sample, but the idea is to write out the column to a TSTringList and sort i there.
All other data in the same row are also written to a tstringlist (or similar) and saved in the first tstringlist with TStringList.AddObject('Data to be sorted', Pointer-to-the-second-TStringList).
Sort the stringlist - clear the grid - write data back to the grid.


Good luck
Peter

Does anybody have an example? I am relatively new to Delphi.

I have Dellphi 6 proff. Soon I will have V7.

Found a solution. How do I close this question?

HI,
You can do it for example that way:
procedure TForm1.BitBtn1Click(Sender: TObject);
var SL: TStringList;
begin
 SL:=TStringList.Create;
 with StringGrid1 do
  begin
    SL.Assign(Rows[1]);
    SL.Sort;
    Rows[1].Assign(SL);
  end;
  SL.Free;
end;
Sincerely,
Nestorua.
