Order by Descending/Ascending of SortedList

[Taddypole]

I'm developing a MACD indicator for which I need to store the bar number and value of the MACD pivots. I am doing so using a SortedList which provides a Key/Value pair.

I'm keeping a list of the last 10 pivots above and below the MACD zero line. The piece I can't get is to sort the values in descending or ascending order.

I know this is beyond the support normally provided, but was hoping someone can give me a hint.

Thanks,

Taddypole, I would suggest checking into this thread from Stackoverflow on the same topic to resort by value - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...-value-c-sharp

Following the examples, I was able to get my list sorted in ascending/descending order. I was also able to print out the list using pair.Key and pair.Value.

What I am struggling with now is to access the pairs by index. Like in SortedList there are methods to access the '.Keys and '.Values.

These are not available in Lists. I want to iterate through the list in order to compare the next value with the previous. I'm not sure how to do that.


List<KeyValuePair<int, int>> myHighList = highPvtMacdList.ToList();
myHighList.Sort((x,y)=>y.Value.CompareTo(x.Value)) ;


Print("Macdtest - high Pivot");
foreach(KeyValuePair<int,int> pair in myHighList)
{
Print("Macdtest - high Pivot" + " Key = " + pair.Key + " Value = " + pair.Value);
}

thanks,

Using a List to keep track of the anchor bars and to manage the collection to a set of 10 and then using a SortedList to keep a collection of KeyValue pairs of Macd Pivot values to anchor bars in a sorted manor, I was able to accomplish what I wanted.

Hi Taddypole,

Thanks for following up with your solution! I'm sure your example will be useful for other users in the future.
