    Sub TestieSimpleArraySort8() ( and Global variables and a required Function )

    Global variables required. ( Must go at top of code module )
    Code:
    Option Explicit
    Dim Cms() As Variant, Rs() As Variant      ' "Horizointal Column" Indicies  , "Virtical row" Indicies
    Dim RngToSort As Range                     ' Test data range
    Dim arrOrig() As Variant                   ' This    arrIndx() = Application.Index(arrOrig(), Rs(), Cms())  applies the modified Rs() to the original unsorted data range. So we need an array to use constantly containing the original data range

    A required function
    Code:
    Function CL(ByVal lclm As Long) As String 'Using chr function and Do while loop      For example http://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming-vba-macros/796472-how-to-go-from-column-number-to-column-letter.html
        Do
         Let CL = Chr(65 + (((lclm - 1) Mod 26))) & CL
         Let lclm = (lclm - (1)) \ 26
        Loop While lclm > 0
    End Function

    Dim rest As Long 'Variable for what is "left over" after subtracting as many full 26's as possible
        Do
        '    Let rest = ((lclm - 1) Mod 26) 'Gives 0 to 25 for Column Number "Left over" 1 to 26. Better than ( lclm Mod 26 ) which gives 1 to 25 for clm 1 to 25 then 0 for 26
        '    Let FukOutChrWithDoWhile = Chr(65 + rest) & FukOutChrWithDoWhile 'Convert rest to Chr Number, initially with full number so the "units" (0-25), then number of 26's left over (if the number was so big to give any amount of 26's in it, then number of 26's in the 26's left over (if the number was so big to give any amount of 26 x 26's in it, Enit ?
        '    'OR
        Let FukOutChrWithDoWhile = Chr(65 + (((lclm - 1) Mod 26))) & FukOutChrWithDoWhile
        Let lclm = (lclm - (1)) \ 26 'This gives the number of 26's ( if any ), but just the excact part, in the next number down , - so applying the rest formula to this new number will again leave a difference "left over" rest.
        'lclm = (lclm - (rest + 1)) \ 26 ' As the number is effectively truncated here, any number from 1 to (rest +1)  will do in the formula
        Loop While lclm > 0 'Only loop further if number was big enough to still have 0-25's in it
    End Function

    Code:

This ensures we then have the correct value place at the start of any newly starting copy of the recursion routine, since the first copy of the recursion routine pauses and starts the second copy of the recursion routine, the second copy of the recursion routine pauses and starts the third copy of the recursion routine ….. etc…

    Dir Order

    Here is where we left off in the last post
    HTML Code:
    Folder used is
    F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder
    Folder
    
    First got by  Dir(F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder\*.xls*)
    is             AForthThirdAfterwb.xlsx
    
    Use 1 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   SecondFirstAfterwb.xlsx
    Use 2 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   ThirdSecondAfterwb.xlsx
    here is what it looks like in the explorer window:
    ExpOrder1.JPG : https://imgur.com/OfQfHeH


    I can move the order pysically in the explorer window, by selecting and dragging the file position virtically, ( and I hit the refresh thing , just in case that should influence anything )
    ExpOrder2.JPG : https://imgur.com/AlV1MdB
    The routine, Sub DirOrder() , then seems to give the same results
    HTML Code:
    Folder used is
    F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder
    Folder
    
    First got by  Dir(F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder\*.xls*)
    is             AForthThirdAfterwb.xlsx
    
    Use 1 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   SecondFirstAfterwb.xlsx
    Use 2 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   ThirdSecondAfterwb.xlsx


    I can do this:

    ExpOrder3a.JPG : https://imgur.com/2OVsguZ
    Once again I get the same alphabetical ordering in the Dir found order output

    i can play around with this:
    ExpOrder4.JPG : https://imgur.com/6FbYQgp
    or this

    Once again I get the same alphabetical ordering in the Dir found order output


    I made this d_xlsm_file.xlsm , and this ,c_xls_file.xls , and pit it in the foilder, Folder
    A xlsm and xls.JPG : https://imgur.com/w9gyRxj

    here is part of my Immediate window output
    HTML Code:
    First got by  Dir(F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder\*.xls*)
    is             AForthThirdAfterwb.xlsx
    
    Use 1 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   c_xls_file.xls
    Use 2 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   d_xlsm_file.xlsm
    I need to increase my loop count, Cnt , to 4 to getting total all 5 files. But doing this is likely to get a bit tedious as I comtinue experiments with a different number of files in various folders. So I will change my coding, at the loop section, to a more typical type of loop used iin such a Dir __ file finding code: Usually something like this is done, so that the loop keeps going as long as Dir __ finds files
    Code:
     
    ‘ First use of Dir  with full path and file name argument
    ‘  strWB = "F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder\*.xls*" ‘ Wild card to get all Excel Files
    ‘  File = Dir(strWB)‘ Loop for all files meeting search string criteria,  ( all Excel files in this example )
        Do '                  '_- I want to keep going in a Loop while I still get a file name returned by  Dir
        Dim Cnt As  Long: Let Cnt = Cnt + 1
         File = Dir: Debug.Print "Use " & Cnt & " in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   """ & File & """"
        Loop While File <> "" '_- I want to keep going in a Loop while I still get a file name returned by  Dir
    Here is the full coding, http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ll=1#post11108 , which gives for the last example:
    HTML Code:
    F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder
    Folder
    
    First got by  Dir(F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder\*.xls*)
    is             AForthThirdAfterwb.xlsx
    
    Use 1 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "c_xls_file.xls"
    Use 2 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "d_xlsm_file.xlsm"
    Use 3 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "SecondFirstAfterwb.xlsx"
    Use 4 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "ThirdSecondAfterwb.xlsx"
    Use 5 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   ""


    I can change the serach criteria from strWB & "*.xls*" to strWB & "*" and it has no effect

    i added a .jpg pic, ( Add a jpg.JPG : https://imgur.com/XkXskiL ) , and the listing had it in the aplhabetical order :
    Code:
    First got by  Dir(F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery\Kill Stuff\Folder\*)
    is             AForthThirdAfterwb.xlsx
    
    Use 1 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "c_xls_file.xls"
    Use 2 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "d_xlsm_file.xlsm"
    Use 3 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "SecondFirstAfterwb.xlsx"
    Use 4 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "Stack by change date  .JPG"
    Use 5 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   "ThirdSecondAfterwb.xlsx"
    Use 6 in loop of unargumented   Dir   gives   ""

    I use the last routine in the form to allow user selection of the folder to search for files
    http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ll=1#post11108. I looked at some arbritrary folders, - once again alphabetical order seems to come out:
    Code:
    Folder used is
    F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelForum\wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery
    wbSheetMakerClsdWbADOMsQueery

    Note that a file named as a number comes first in the list, as is consitant with Excel regarding text as "larger" than a number in sorting things http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtop...=32154#p249178


    Up until now, all tests were done on an old Lap top using Vista operating system. I rechecked on a newer machine uisng Windows 7. I get the same results
