OK, I have a fairly easy question, I guess don't know how to do it. I have a program which has the user enter numbers, and then find the median. In order for it to work properly, the numbers must be sorted in order. However, the sorted property of the listbox only sorts by the first number. Which can cause problems. I need to know how to actually make sure the numbers are in order. Thanks!

Its treating the items as strings. What you should do is sort them using some algorithm to sort and then insert them into the ListBox.

Actually you can even use the Sort method of the Array class. It uses the QuickSort algorithm, which is one of the fastest generic sorting algorithms. It will sort them correctly since integers have IComparable interface.

      "Elon Musk says a kid-friendly 'Baby Grok' is on the way" No kid wants to be a baby anymore. "Kid friendly" I would have named it "Kid Grok"

    • TP-Link Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router Archer GXE75 is just $135

      TP-Link Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router Archer GXE75 is just $135 by Sayan Sen If you’re juggling gaming consoles, 4K streams and a growing roster of smart devices, the TP-Link Archer GXE75 Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router is a good option to look at right now, considering the device is currently on sale at just $135 (purchase link under the specs table below). The Archer GXE75 promises up to 5.4 Gbps of throughput across three bands: 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 2402 Mbps on 6 GHz (HE160 channels enabled). A 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port pairs with three 1 Gbps LAN ports and a USB 3.0 port for fast file sharing or printer access (purchase link down below). The quad-core CPU and 512 MB of RAM should help to handle multiple streams without bogging down, while MU-MIMO, OFDMA and 1024-QAM improve efficiency when several devices connect simultaneously. The router’s built-in Game Accelerator engine is said to automatically prioritize gaming packets (both wired and wireless), and TP-Link’s GPN (Gamers Private Network) acceleration can reduce packet loss for supported titles. HomeShield security brings firewall protection, device quarantining and parental controls. The technical specifications of the router are given below: Specification Details Wireless Standards IEEE 802.11ax 6 GHz; IEEE 802.11ax/ac/n/a 5 GHz; IEEE 802.11ax/n/g/b 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Speeds 6 GHz: 2402 Mbps (802.11ax); 5 GHz: 2402 Mbps (802.11ax); 2.4 GHz: 574 Mbps (802.11ax) Spatial Streams 6 streams (tri-band OFDMA/MU-MIMO) Processor 1.7 GHz 64-bit Quad-Core CPU Memory 512 MB high-speed RAM Ethernet Ports 1× 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN; 1× 1 Gbps WAN/LAN; 3× 1 Gbps LAN USB 1× USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port (up to 10× faster than USB 2.0) Antennas 4× high-performance external antennas with Beamforming Buttons Power On/Off; Reset; WPS/Wi-Fi; LED On/Off Working Modes Router Mode; Access Point Mode Security WPA, WPA2, WPA3, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise; SPI firewall; Access Control; IP/MAC binding; Application-layer gateway; HomeShield security suite VPN OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP (server & client); WireGuard (server & client) Software & Services IPv4/IPv6; TP-Link HomeShield; EasyMesh; Parental controls; QoS by device; WAN types (Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP); DDNS (TP-Link, NO-IP, DynDNS); auto firmware updates Gaming Features Game QoS boost; gaming-port priority; Gamers Private Network acceleration; game-port forwarding; real-time game panel with stats & RGB control Operating Environment 0 °C – 40 °C; 10 %– 90 % non-condensing humidity Get the TP-Link Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router Archer GXE75 at the link below: TP-Link Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router Archer GXE75 | EasyMesh, HomeShield: $159.99 + $25 off with coupon => $134.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Windows 11 is getting a useful new audio feature

      By excalpius · Posted

      I too have worked with pro gear for decades and so I found the interface to be unintuitive from both the pro and casual side (a rare "accomplishment" by what are obviously otherwise skilled coders, hehe). I eventually got it to work, thanks for offering, but I found other compatibility issues with my own use case, so I just dropped it entirely. Right now, I just use an analog line out/line in approach which works as expected across all usage scenarios. With both machines on the same power block/outlet, I'm not getting any analog hum or hiss. My next step will be to try the updated Multiplicity 4 when a bug, addressing this very issue unfortunately, is resolved. Knowing Stardock, that could be tomorrow or five years from now, so I check back every few months to see it it's fixed and I want to upgrade. Again, thanks for offering to help.
