    Using Directory.GetFiles() WITH multiple extensions AND sort order

    Hi,

    I have to get a directory file list, filtered on multiple extensions...and sorted!

    I use this, which is the fastest way I've found to get dir content filtered on multiple extensions:

    Code:
    Dim ext As String() = {"*.jpg", "*.bmp","*png"}
    Dim files As String() = ext.SelectMany(Function(f) Directory.GetFiles(romPath, f)).ToArray
    Array.Sort(files)
    and then use an array sort.


    I was wondering (and this is my question ) if there would be a way to do the sorting IN the same main line? A kind of:
    Code:
    Dim files As String() = ext.SelectMany(Function(f) Directory.GetFiles(romPath, f).Order By Name).ToArray
    and, if yes, if I would gain speed doing this instead of sorting the array at the end (but I would do my test and report..as soon as I get a solution!!)?
    Thanks for your help!!
