Sorting a site collection

Question

OK here is my latest issue.  I know how to sort list and I know how to return all the sites under a site.  What I don't know is how to sort the sites I am returning. I am using C#. Can anyone help me. 

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://iseeeps"))

{

SPWeb mySite = site.OpenWeb();

SPWebCollection sites = mySite.Webs;

}

Answer 1

I don't think the SPWebCollection class is sortable, so if you want to sort sites, you would have to put them in a custom collection first.

Here is some code from http://blogs.windwardreports.com/tomasr/2009/11/sorting-sharepoint-spwebcollection.html to sort a collection of sites by title.

Create a custom IComparer for sites:

public class SPListItemComparer : IComparer
{

    #region IComparer Members

    public int Compare(object x, object y)
    {
        if (!(x is SPListItem) || !(y is SPListItem))
            throw new ArgumentException("Cannot compare non-SPListItem objects using SPListItemComparer");
        return string.Compare(((SPListItem)x).Name, ((SPListItem)y).Name);
    }

    #endregion
}

Then, put the sites into a sortable collection such as ArrayList and call the collection's Sort method using your custom IComparer.

SPWebCollection collWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs;
ArrayList sortedWebs = new ArrayList(collWebsite.Count);
foreach (SPWeb oWebsite in collWebsite)
{
    sortedWebs.Add(oWebsite);
}
sortedWebs.Sort(new ArrowUtils.SPWebSortComparer());
