asp.net - Sorting an array of dates -

i have created array csv of date values , need able sort them can latest date array.

i have tried:

array.sort() 

but doesn't sort correctly, suppose because array values strings, body got ideas??

thanks help.

code used create array

'array string exampel: "19/07/2012,23/07/2012,23/07/2012,19/07/2012,25/07/2012" dim arrdates array = arrdates .split(",") 

solution

dim arragentsreportcheck array = agentsreportcheck.split(",")  dim arrdates new list(of date) integer = 0 arragentsreportcheck.length - 1     arrdates.add(arragentsreportcheck(i)) next  arrdates.sort() dim latestdate date = arrdates.max() 

as astander said, complicated sort array having datetime values. instead convert array list or arraylist , make life easy.

for arraylist can use following syntax:

list<datetime> dates = ... // init , fill dates.sort(); dates.reverse();
