Optimized _ArraySort

[Deye]

hi,

@not knowing how to go about it, weather i should do a patch job or maybe its easier to get it done with a core function (didn't go through it .. )

so I'm throwing this into the air 
All I figured out for now is that if instances with ":\"  go to end it fixes some case issues (will need to recall: as to why.)
example: sorted list with $iDescending: 

H:\
False
False
False
Downloads
Documents
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
C:\Users\
C:\

what can I amend in so all instances with ":\" get glued to the end of the array

TIA

@Deye This question should have been posted in GH&S. Here's a quick and simple method which does not verify whether paths exist, nor does it verify syntax. It might do what you want, or at least give you some ideas.
 

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aTest = _
['H:\', _
'False', _
'False', _
'False', _
'Downloads', _
'Documents', _
'Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections', _
'C:\Users\', _
'C:\']

_ArrayDisplay($aTest, 'Before')

For $i = 0 To UBound($aTest) -1
    If StringRegExp($aTest[$i], '(\A[A-Z]\:\\)') Then
        $aTest[$i] = 'z' & $aTest[$i]
    Else
        $aTest[$i] = 'a' & $aTest[$i]
    EndIf
Next

_ArraySort($aTest)

For $i = 0 To UBound($aTest) -1
    $aTest[$i] = StringTrimLeft($aTest[$i], 1)
Next

_ArrayDisplay($aTest, 'After')

so here is some madness to extract the target from source, sort both arrays independently, and then glue them back together.

#include<array.au3>

local $array = ['H:\' , 'False' , 'False' , 'False' , 'Downloads' , 'Documents' , 'Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections' , 'C:\Users\' , 'C:\']


for $i = 0 to ubound($array) - 1
    $array[$i] = StringReverse($array[$i])
Next

$arraysort = _ArraySort($array , 1)

for $i = 0 to ubound($array) - 1
    $array[$i] = StringReverse($array[$i])
Next

$aFound = _ArrayFindAll($array , ":\", 0 , 0 ,0 , 1)
$extract = _ArrayExtract($array , $aFound[0])
_ArrayInsert($aFound , 0 , ubound($aFound))
_ArrayDelete($array , $aFound)
_ArraySort($array)
_ArraySort($extract)
_ArrayConcatenate($array , $extract)

_ArrayDisplay($array)
