    <p>I'm using the following code to read in a highscores file with the score written first and the player's name written to the next line, and then display the top 3 scores or fewer if there aren't 3 scores written to the file. A highscores display should have the scores sorted with the highest first so that's what this program tries to implement. </p> <p>Array.sort() isn't doing a damn thing. In fact, the program's not even reversing the arrays like it should either. I've tested array.sort() this way with the names and scores arrays given explicitly and it works fine. I thought maybe it was still reading the data as string even though it's declared otherwise but it rounds off decimals when I change the array type to Integer so I'm pretty sure it's not that. </p> <p>I have no idea why reading the data in from a file changes how it's sorted. My teacher didn't understand what was going on either. Does anyone know what's going on here?</p> <pre><code>Imports System.IO Public Class Form2 Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim fileLines() = File.ReadAllLines(Application.StartupPath &amp; "/../../Resources/highscores.txt") Dim highscores() As Double = {} Dim names() As String = {} 'For some reason vb doesn't have a function to add items to arrays. 'Lists have this capability, but if I used a list I couldn't use array.sort For i As Integer = 0 To fileLines.Length() - 1 If (i Mod 2 = 0) Then 'highscores.add(fileLines(i)) Array.Resize(highscores, highscores.Length + 1) highscores(highscores.Length - 1) = fileLines(i) Else 'names.add(fileLines(i)) Array.Resize(names, names.Length + 1) names(names.Length - 1) = fileLines(i) End If Next Array.Sort(highscores, names) highscores.Reverse() names.Reverse() If highscores.Length() &gt; 0 Then Label1.Text = Str(highscores(0)) + " " + names(0) End If If highscores.Length() &gt; 1 Then Label2.Text = Str(highscores(1)) + " " + names(1) End If If highscores.Length() &gt; 2 Then Label3.Text = Str(highscores(2)) + " " + names(2) End If End Sub End Class </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
