How can I do this? Do I have to write a new sorting function from scratch?
Thanks

not possible?

Depending on how much alike your data can be, it could be fairly easy to write a case insensitive workaround, but just as likely be a brainsqueezer.

If your data will never be exactly the same (case insensitive included), you could write it all in a buffer array all lowercased/uppercased and then sort, followed by a StrEquals case insensitive to fill your original array as it should be when sorted. (Replace the strings in the buffer with the ones they need to be with proper casing)

But that completely depends on there being no similar words with different casing. And it also depends on there not being an easier way of doing this ^^

Good idea! I thought of using that method, but didn't remember about StrEquals.
Thanks :D

Or just use strcmp.

PHP Code:

SortADTArrayCustom(array,SortMyArray);

//...

public SortMyArray(index1,index2,Handle:array,Handle:hndl) {
    decl String:str1[32], String:str2[32];    //replace 32 with array blocksize * 4; one cell can contain 4 characters

    GetArrayString(array,index1,str1,sizeof(str1));
    GetArrayString(array,index2,str2,sizeof(str2));

    return strcmp(str1,str2,false);
}

Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I wanted :)

so each cell are 32 bits? I'm just asking cause I though when you declare an atd array to put some string in it it should have the same block size as the max str size you were going to use. So if I want to store "hello world" in an atd array, 3 block size should be enough?

EDIT: does it include or exclude the \0?

EDIT2: sorry to revive a old thread but not allot of discution about ADT array have been made

The sm array natives are somewhat similar to the c malloc/free, with size being 1 for each cell.
1 char per, delim counts, so you need to allocate it.

so the code above is wrong about the block size? He's telling us 1 cell can contain 4 char (4 byte or 32 bits)

When you declare an ADT array and are putting Strings in it, use ByteCountToCells to get the correct blocksize for a String of that many characters. And like String declarations, this size should include the nul terminator.

But yes, cells are 32-bits while SourceMod strings are 8-bits per character... so it's 4 characters to a cell.
