First we create an IComparer class:
Imports System.IO
Public Class DirectoryCompare
Implements IComparer
Public Overridable Overloads Function Compare(ByVal x As Object, ByVal y As Object) As Integer Implements IComparer.Compare
Dim objX As DirectoryInfo = CType(x, DirectoryInfo)
Dim objY As DirectoryInfo = CType(y, DirectoryInfo)
Return objX.Name.CompareTo(objY.Name)
End Function
End Class
And some code showing how to use it:
Dim dArray() = New DirectoryInfo("C:\\Results").GetDirectories
If Not dArray Is Nothing Then
Dim dc As New DirectoryCompare()
Dim dirs As ArrayList = New ArrayList(dArray)
dirs.Sort(dc)
dim lastDirPath as String = CType(dirs(dArray.Length - 1), DirectoryInfo).FullName
'step through
For Each dir As DirectoryInfo In dArray
Next
'step backwards
For idir As Integer = dArray.Length - 1 To 0 Step -1
Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = CType(dirs(idir), DirectoryInfo)
Next
End If
