Not sure if that C# code will play in VB. :)

I found this way to be reasonable:

In class Key, add a shared function:

Public Shared Function CompKeysByName( ByVal X As Key, ByVal Y As Key) As Integer
Return X.Name.CompareT o(Y.Name)
End Function

Then for the sort, do

oSection.Keys.S ort(AddressOf Key.CompKeysByN ame)

Yes, you are right, I didn't check the language too carefully before
posting. That would (almost) be the VB version of my code. :)
