plus , I never used before

This is just a bad excuse ;P . The STL collection classes are much more powerful than the MFC collection classes, I strongly suggest you start using them instead of the MFC collections, you won't regret it (it takes a bit of time to get started with it but once you know how to use them, you will gain a lot of time).

I mean , how can I switch position between two elements of an objects array ?

You can still remove an element and insert it back at the correct location but this is ugly and prone to errors. I'm not aware of another alternative (but I didn't use the MFC collections for long).

I think that I try in both way .. thanks !

// switch pObj1 and pObj2 between them ... but how ? Try it :) :

void SortDrawObjects(CDrawObjList& cList)
{
for (int i = 0; i < cList.GetCount(); i++) {
POSITION pos = cList.GetHeadPosition();
while (pos) {
POSITION posFirst = pos;
CDrawObj* pcFirst = cList.GetNext(pos);
if (pos) {
POSITION posSecond = pos;
CDrawObj* pcSecond = cList.GetNext(pos);
if (pcFirst->m_position.left > pcSecond->m_position.left) {
cList.SetAt(posFirst, pcSecond);
cList.SetAt(posSecond, pcFirst);
}
pos = posSecond;
}
}
}
}

Well, you could use the stl algorithms work with the MFC collection classes too. That's the unprecedented beauty of STL. :)

An algorithm after all is just a modus operandi. As long as a collection class, irrespective of the library that is part of, provides mechanism to insert and remove elements at any location, all the algorithms can be implemented. The performance may be not as expected due to the implementation of the classes themselves. What I am trying to say is, if you understand the algorithm and read the documentation for the collection class, it must not be difficult at all.

Well , it's work great ! Thank you very much !

If I mix MFC with STL , I wouldn't keep consistency , or not ?

Try google: "sort coblist" comes up with http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/cpp/cpp_mfc/collections/article.php/c757/[^] and a lot of recommendations to drop MFC :)

Useful code !

It's been a while (and I don't have my book with me) but iirc, the std::algorithm (and I think sort is in that) didn't require the structure to be a std::list. (I seem to recall standard arrays being able to be sorted with std as well.)

If you are wedded to MFC, at least use a CObArray instead of a CObList. The algorithim will be much cleaner and faster with a smaller memory footprint. For instance ...

typedef CTypedPtrArray<> CDrawObjArray;

then create the array ...

CDrawObjArray ObjArray;

const unsigned int nSize = 5;

ObjArray.SetSize(nSize);

fill the array ...

for(int i = 0; i < nSize; i++)
{
CDrawObj* pObj = new CDrawObj(CRect(ptOrigin,sizeRect));

ObjArray\[i\] = pObj;

}

and finally sort the array (using the most inefficient sorting algorithim known to man).

for(int i = 0; i < nSize; i++)
{
for(int j = i; j < nSize; j++)
{
unsigned int nPrevious = ObjArray[j-1]->m_position.left;
unsigned int nCurrent = ObjArray[j]->m_position.left;

    if(nPrevious > nCurrent)
    {
        CDrawObj\* pObj = ObjArray\[j-1\];

        ObjArray\[j-1\] = ObjArray\[j\];
        ObjArray\[j\] = pObj ;
    }
}

}

Guys , you're overcome me with solutions !!! I want to kindly thank you ! I was learn something here .And after all , seems to must begin use STL ... I will googling and see what I find ... You are very kind !
