Trying to get Vector3 Array to sort in order of Y values - C sharp

Questions & Answers
1

I am currently in the process of converting a project from javascript into C sharp, this is the only problem I have had so far. Here is the code I have:

public class SpawnObjects : MonoBehaviour {
	public int numberOfHills = 10;
	private Vector3[] aPos;

	void Start() {
		aPos = new Vector3[numberOfHills];
		Array.Sort(aPos, delegate(Vector3 first, Vector3 second){
		return first.y.CompareTo(second.y);
		});

And the error I recieve: error CS0103: The name `Array’ does not exist in the current context

Also if I change the code to:

public class SpawnObjects : MonoBehaviour {
	public int numberOfHills = 10;
	private Vector3[] aPos;

	void Start() {
		aPos = new Vector3[numberOfHills];
		aPos.Sort(aPos, delegate(Vector3 first, Vector3 second){
		return first.y.CompareTo(second.y);
		});

I recieve:

error CS0176: Static member `System.Array.Sort<UnityEngine.Vector3>(UnityEngine.Vector3[], System.Comparison<UnityEngine.Vector3>)’ cannot be accessed with an instance reference, qualify it with a type name instead

Can anyone shed some light on whats happening?
Cheers.

I don’t know what namespaces you are using, but Array exists in the System namespace and that is not included by default. You might just need to add:

using System;

to the top of your script. Or you can include the namespace when you call Sort()

 System.Array.Sort();
