I have a one-dimensional array containing values that load a listbox. I
would like to reverse the order of the values as they appear in the listbox.
The array is called UniqueValues and I'm loading the listbox via the
following:

For Each Item In UniqueValues
frmTrace.ListBox1.AddItem Item
Next Item

Is there a way to reverse the values without dropping the values into a
worksheet, resorting, and reloading? I've referenced Chip Pearson's site and
he shows the
"ReverseArrayInPlace" procedure but I'm not understanding how it works.

Thanks for your help.

Hi John,

this one fills an array(1 to 50) with random numbers
in the range from 1 to 50 and puts them in listbox1,
as they were created.
it puts them in another listbox2 in reverse order.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim x(1 To 50) As Long
Dim y
Randomize
For y = 1 To 50
x(y) = Int((50 * Rnd) + 1)
Me.ListBox1.AddItem x(y)
Next
For y = 50 To 1 Step -1
Me.ListBox2.AddItem x(y)
Next
End Sub

Hi John,

Try this.

For i = UBound(UniqueValues) To 0 Step -1
frmTrace.ListBox1.AddItem UniqueValues(i)
Next i

or this:

For i = UBound(UniqueValues) To LBound(UniqueValues) Step -1
frmTrace.ListBox1.AddItem UniqueValues(i)
Next i

The second one doesn't matter whether UniqueValues(0) or UniqueValues(1) is
the lowest.

Use the same code you have, but add the optional argument to the AddItem
method...

For Each Item In UniqueValues
frmTrace.ListBox1.AddItem Item, 0
Next Item

Thanks Helmut, OssieMac, and Rick for your time and help - all examples
worked perfectly.
