Code Challenge (Help)

The problem: sorting.

I have a datatype User

Public Type User
     Number as Long
     ManagerNumber as Long
End Type

The Users are in a User array (that has a total items value) but are not in any particular order. If the user has a manager it will appear in User.ManagerNumber, the ManagerNumber corresponds to the Number of another user. If the user does not have a manager User.ManagerNumber will = 0. I want to populate a listbox with the hierarchy first with the bigboss(has users reporting to him but reports to no one) on top and then list all other users at the end.

Here are the users(they don't necessarily appear in this order in the array):
User A.Number = 1
User A.ManagerNumber = 3
User B.Number = 2
User B.ManagerNumber = 1
User C.Number = 3
User C.ManagerNumber = 0
User D.Number = 4
User D.ManagerNumber = 0

Here is my solution in english/pseudo code...
1. make a temp list (user number and manager number)of all users that have managers
2. find the one ManagerNumber that is not in the list under user number (that's the big boss) add to new list
3. find the person that reports to the big boss in the temp list add to new list
4. is the peron I just added in temp list under managernumber?
5. find the person that reports to him and add to new list.
6. (repeat 4 & 5 until user not in list under managernumber)
7. go through original list and add all users whose managernumber = 0 AND are not the big boss to the new list

The Answer
C <-- the big boss
A <-- reports to C
B <-- reports to A
D <-- does not report to anyone and no one reports to D

There has got to be a better way (the datatype can't change)
Can you come up with a better solution? before I start hurting my head with my logic?

Here's something I did way back for a school assignment, it's similare to what your looking for, try implementing this into your project, I used the Itemdata property, which I suspect you should do also.

Option Explicit
Dim ticketPrice(0 To 3) As Ticket

Private Sub LoadArray()
ticketPrice(0).price = 40#
ticketPrice(1).price = 27.5
ticketPrice(2).price = 15#
ticketPrice(3).price = 10#
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click()
Dim intPrice As Integer
Dim curTotal As Currency
Dim totaltickets As Integer

totaltickets = Val(txtTickets.Text)
If lstSeating.ListIndex = -1 Or txtTickets.Text = "" Then
    Beep
    MsgBox "You must select a seat and enter number of tickets," + vbCrLf + Space(18) + "Please try again!", vbInformation, "Selection"
    Exit Sub
End If
intPrice = lstSeating.ItemData(lstSeating.ListIndex)
curTotal = ticketPrice(intPrice).price * Val(txtTickets.Text)
lblPrice.Caption = FormatCurrency(curTotal, 2)
ticketPrice(intPrice).tickets = ticketPrice(intPrice).tickets + totaltickets

Select Case lstSeating.ListIndex
    Case 0
        lblBalcony.Caption = ticketPrice(intPrice).tickets
    Case 1
        lblGeneral.Caption = ticketPrice(intPrice).tickets
    Case 2
        lblMezzanine.Caption = ticketPrice(intPrice).tickets
    Case 3
        lblOrchestra.Caption = ticketPrice(intPrice).tickets
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub cmdClear_Click()
txtTickets.Text = ""
lblPrice.Caption = ""
txtTickets.SetFocus
End Sub

Private Sub cmdExit_Click()
Dim Form As Form
For Each Form In Forms
  Unload Me
Next
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Activate()
lstSeating.SetFocus
SendKeys "{Down}"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
    cmdCalculate_Click
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
    Case vbKeyDelete
        cmdClear_Click
    
    Case vbKeyF1
        lstSeating.SetFocus
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Call LoadArray
End Sub

Private Sub txtTickets_GotFocus()
txtTickets.SetFocus
txtTickets.SelStart = 0
txtTickets.SelLength = Len(txtTickets.Text)
End Sub

Put this in a module

Type Ticket
    price As Currency
    tickets As Integer
End Type

Thanks, I'll look it over.
