need to sort files in a directory before listing them (C#)

I'm using the Directory.GetFiles(filePath) to loop through all the files in a directory using C#.
But I need those files to be sorted before I list them to the user. Is there any method to do that or do I have to do it manually?

Hi,

I could now start writing a sample etc. but I must admit, others have already done this. Although I do not like to answer questions with a simple link to a web page, I recommend to look at these two articels:

http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/article...
and
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/article...

This artcle explains exactly how it is done. It provides a way to sort a FileInfo array using all different properties of a fileinfo object.

Let me know if this helped you

Cheers

Peter

Thanks, Peter. This is an advanced way of doing it. Actually I found out that for my needs I only need to sort them alphabetically (which for some reason they weren't by default), so I ended up doing this:
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(filePath);
Array.Sort(files);

You get the points, nevertheless...
