Sorting an array starting from given index

Questions & Answers

Hello,
i have an array of Vector3 with 6 elements, let

Vector3[] array = new Vector3[]
{
zero,one,two,three,four,five
};

A certain method gives me back one of those Vectors, let#s assume in this case “three”.

I´d like to re-sort this array in new one to have something like:

    Vector3[] newArray = new Vector3
    { 
three, four, five, zero, one, two
    };

What’s the best way? Thanks!

I assume you don’t actually need to sort the array, you just need to shift it circularly?

If so, this method should do it:

public Vector3[] ShiftArray(Vector3[] array, Vector3 firstElement)
	{
		int firstElementIndex = Array.IndexOf(array, firstElement);
		if(firstElementIndex == -1)
		{
			Debug.LogError("Requested element not found");
			return null;
		}

		Vector3[] newArray = new Vector3[array.Length];
		for(int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
		{
			newArray *= array[(firstElementIndex + i) % array.Length];*

  •  }*

  •  return newArray;*

  • }*
