How do I sort the array correctly?

Hi All,

How do I sort the array in this code correctly from 1 - 9999.

Sub Main()

' You have to run this in a drawing with a assembly on the first page.

	Dim oDrawingDoc As Document
	Dim oDocs As Documents
	Dim oSheets As IManagedSheets
	Dim oGASheet As IManagedSheet
	Dim oGAView As DrawingView
	Dim oGASheet1 As Sheet
	Dim oViewModelDoc As Document
	Dim oPartsArray As New List(Of String)

		oDrawingDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
		oDocs = ThisApplication.Documents	
		oSheets = ThisDrawing.Sheets
		oGASheet = oSheets.ItemByName("A GA:1")
		oGASheet1 = oDrawingDoc.Sheets(1)
		oGAView = oGASheet1.DrawingViews(1)
		oViewModelDoc = oGASheet.View(oGAView.Name).ModelDocument
		oDef = oViewModelDoc.ComponentDefinition
		oBOM = oDef.BOM
		
	Dim oBOMView As BOMView = oBOM.BOMViews(2)
	
	For Each oRow As BOMRow In oBOMView.BOMRows
		For Each rDef As ComponentDefinition In oRow.ComponentDefinitions
						
				oPartsArray.Add(oRow.ItemNumber.ToString())
				oPartsArray.Sort
		Next
	Next	

For j As Integer = 0 To oPartsArray.Count - 1
	If j = 0 Then 
		oText = oPartsArray(j)
	Else
		oText = oText & ", " & oPartsArray(j)
	End If
Next

	MessageBox.Show(oText, "List of items in Array")
	Logger.Info(oText)

End Sub

 Here  is the code and below shows the outcome:

INFO|List of items in Array
INFO|01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 104, 106, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 2001, 2002, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 6001, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 9004, 91, 93, 94, 95, 99

Thank you in advanced.

This is because you are sorting the array of strings. You can try to cast ItemNumber to integer and sort the array of integers instead.

Thank you, Michael.

No problem. If you are interested about more complex sorting, you can see this previous posts here and  here
