Re: Array.Sort(SortMethod As Delegate)

Hi Don,

Thanks for replying.

I didn't test because of the "undefined behavior"!! And so, I hoped that 
someone would confirm it's not recommended to do this that way.

Finally, after your reply, I tested it and it seems to work. Actually, I 
h'aven't seen "undefined behavior".

Nevertheless, thank you very much for the advice, it would be very 
usefull if something goes wrong...
