Algorithms..::..StableSort<(Of <(<'T>)>)> Method (IEnumerable<(Of <(<'T>)>)>, IComparer<(Of <(<'T>)>)>)

Creates a sorted version of a collection. The sort is stable, which means that if items X and Y are equal, and X precedes Y in the unsorted collection, X will precede Y is the sorted collection. A supplied IComparer<T> is used to compare the items in the collection.

Type Parameters

T

Parameters

collection
Type: IEnumerable<(Of <(<'T>)>)>
The collection to sort.
comparer
Type: IComparer<(Of <(<'T>)>)>
The comparer instance used to compare items in the collection. Only the Compare method is used.

Return Value

An array containing the sorted version of the collection.
