Sorting SharePoint SPWebCollection

Here is some code to sort a collection of sites by title.

Create a custom IComparer for sites:

public class SPListItemComparer : IComparer
{

    #region IComparer Members

    public int Compare(object x, object y)
    {
        if (!(x is SPListItem) || !(y is SPListItem))
            throw new ArgumentException("Cannot compare non-SPListItem objects using SPListItemComparer");
        return string.Compare(((SPListItem)x).Name, ((SPListItem)y).Name);
    }

    #endregion
}

Then, put the sites into a sortable collection such as ArrayList and call the collection's Sort method using your custom IComparer.

SPWebCollection collWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs;
ArrayList sortedWebs = new ArrayList(collWebsite.Count);
foreach (SPWeb oWebsite in collWebsite)
{
    sortedWebs.Add(oWebsite);
}
sortedWebs.Sort(new ArrowUtils.SPWebSortComparer());

[Sharepoint]

I am using Sharepoint 2007.

Using the following method, I am trying to sort SPWebCollection accordind to created date. How to get ArrowUtils class?

SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPWebCollection collWebsite = web.GetSubwebsForCurrentUser();

ArrowUtils is my class where I created SPWebSortComparer.

What you want to do is create an SPWebSortComparer, but instead of using their names, use their created date in the Compare method.
