To sort using ArrayList.Sort() 

Quoted from http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/sortingarraylist.asp

public struct MyStrcuture
{
public Int32 iID;
public String sName;
}
In order to be able to sort elements contained in an ArrayList, we have to define the CompareTo method of the IComparable interface, and then use the ArrayList's .Sort() method. This -of course- means that our structure should be inherited from that interface .. and so we'll do! 
public struct MyStrcuture : IComparable
{
public Int32 iID;
public String sName;

public Int32 CompareTo(Object obj)
{
  MyStrcuture tmpObj = (MyStrcuture) obj;
  return (this.sName.CompareTo(tmpObj.sName));
}
}

This would allow the array list to be sorted by just calling MyArrayList.Sort()
provided the arraylist containing the item with the above structure.

How to transfer app and data from old iPhone to new iPhone for model IOS17 and IOS18 above.

It always a headache for non tech savvy users to transfer their old iPhone app and data to new iPhone.  Despite all the effort by Apple with well thought out UX design to make it as intuitive as possible for users to do it themselves. It is still a hair pulling feat to take on. The worse part is that I notice Apple UX do not like to explain anything in written words, they would expect that you follow the flow of UX intuitvely. Many if not majority of iPhone users would have problem doing this easily perhaps their intuition is not the same as Apple employee most of the time. I checked Apple website on how to do it, there is also no clear instruction how to do it. Their instruction is simply - "trust my program process, i will get you there somehow". There is no transparency in the instruction unless you walk to Apple store in your town and talk to Apple employee to guide you. Comparing to Andoid phone, it seems like Apple are not so keen on helping their user to transfer data...

Tips on how to use IBM iNotes (web client) on emailing or scheduling - Like copy tables from Excel or checking for user id (windows logon id) through email address

There are certain functions that I accustomed with when I write email and schedule a meeting using mail client such as Ms Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes. However, such functions are not straightforward when I am in Lotus iNotes, a completely web based client application. Writing Email Common Functions 1. Checking for user id (Windows Logon ID) for the email address. There is no check for user detail in web based version. In the PC client version, you can do this by right clicking on the email address in the "To" textbox. However, there is another solution in web based verion. You can click on "To" hyperlink to search for that person in the address book. Then, find the person there and click "Details" there to get the user id (Windows Login ID) Similar, if you do not have email address of the person but you have the windows logon ID, you can just type the ID in the "To" textbox and click on search for that person. The system will reverse...
