' Indexed ShellSort of an array of any type'' Indexed Sorts are sort procedures that sort an index array' instead of the main array. You can then list the items in' sorted member by simply scanning the index, as in' For i = 1 To numEls: Print arr(ndx(i)): Next'' NUMELS is the index of the last item to be sorted, and is' useful if the array is only partially filled.'' Works with any kind of array, except UDTs and fixed-length' strings, and including objects if your are sorting on their' default property. String are sorted in case-sensitive mode.'' You can write faster procedures if you modify the first two lines' to account for a specific data type, eg.' Sub NdxShellSortS(arr() As Single, ndx() As Long,' ' Optional numEls As Variant, Optional descending As Boolean)' Dim value As SingleSub NdxShellSort(arr As Variant, ndx() As Long, Optional numEls As Variant, _ Optional descending As Boolean) Dim value As Variant Dim index As Long, index2 As Long Dim firstItem As Long Dim distance As Long Dim tempNdx As Long ' account for optional arguments If IsMissing(numEls) Then numEls = UBound(arr) firstItem = LBound(arr) ' init index array if necessary If ndx(firstItem) = 0 And ndx(UBound(ndx)) = 0 Then For index = firstItem To UBound(ndx) ndx(index) = index Next End If ' find the best value for distance Do distance = distance * 3 + 1 Loop Until distance > numEls Do distance = distance 3 For index = distance + 1 To numEls tempNdx = ndx(index) value = arr(tempNdx) index2 = index Do While (arr(ndx(index2 - distance)) > value) Xor descending ndx(index2) = ndx(index2 - distance) index2 = index2 - distance If index2 <= distance Then Exit Do Loop ndx(index2) = tempNdx Next Loop Until distance = 1End Sub
