Question Add position changing animation for VisualElements sorting

I am creating a runtime Scoreboard that can sort the order while score changes.
Is it possible to add a fly animation to the sorting order process.

Code (CSharp):

1. public void Sort()
2.     {
3.         freeforallPanel.Sort((a, b) =>
4.         {          
5.             if (int.Parse((a[1][0]as Label).text)> int.Parse((b[1][0]as Label).text))
6.             {
7.                 return -1;
8.             }
9.             else if (int.Parse((a[1][0] as Label).text) == int.Parse((b[1][0] as Label).text))
10.             {
11.                 return 0;
12.             }
13.             else if (int.Parse((a[1][0] as Label).text) < int.Parse((b[1][0] as Label).text))
14.             {
15.                 return 1;
16.             }
17.             return 0;
18.         });
19.     }

 

Just a comment on efficiency: consider that int.Parse is an expensive operation. Do it only once up front. DRY principle.

And a comment on readability: implement the above, and you‘ll notice it‘ll be more concise code that‘s easier to grasp too.

Finally, you can simply do:

Code (CSharp):

1. var aText = (text of label a);
2. var bText = (text of label b);
3. return aText.Compare(bText);

as far as I understood it‘s just a regular string compare once you get each label‘s text.

 

thx, it helps.
Any idea for the adding animations?
