CAtlArray and CAtlList - sorting?

[Tom Alter]

Anyone knows how to sort the arrays, or how to insert an element in the array in Ordered?
Because, if you override the Traits, and provide your comparison functions, then it is possible to keep array in Ordered.
CElementTraits::CompareElementsOrdered, but it seems in atlcoll.h header file, where ATL's collection classes are implemented,
I don't see any code where you can add elements in to the array in ordered. But MSDN documentation says that CAtlArray and
CAtlList can be ordered.

Any comments please:

Tom,

When MSDN describes CAtlList and/or CAtlArray as being ordered, it's
speaking to the order of the elements with respect to the order in which
they were inserted. It is not, however, speaking to the order of the
elements with respect to the elements' respective values. In other words,
if you insert elements "1", "4", "2", and "3" into a list in that order,
MSDN's use of the word "ordered" means that the order will be "1", "4", "2",
and "3" - not "1", "2", "3", and "4".

Indeed, there is no inherent sorting functionality in the ATL collection
classes - you'll have to roll your own. For a simple and straightforward
(albeit inefficient) example of such an implementation, see the
documentation for the CAtlList::SwapElements() method.
