We can use Linq to sort generic collections and arrays.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class MainClass
{
public static void Main()
{
// Create a new array and populate it.
int[] array = { 4, 2, 9, 3 };
// Created a new, sorted array
array = Enumerable.OrderBy(array, e => e).ToArray();
// Display the contents of the sorted array.
foreach (int i in array)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}
The output:
2
3
4
9
Sort a list
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class MainClass
{
public static void Main()
{
// Create a list and populate it.
List list = new List();
list.Add("M");
list.Add("K");
list.Add("A");
list.Add("A");
// Enumerate the sorted contents of the list.
Console.WriteLine("\nList sorted by content");
foreach (string person in Enumerable.OrderBy(list, e => e))
{
Console.WriteLine(person);
}
// Sort and enumerate based on a property.
Console.WriteLine("\nList sorted by length property");
foreach (string person in Enumerable.OrderBy(list, e => e.Length))
{
Console.WriteLine(person);
}
}
}
The output:
List sorted by content
A
A
K
M
List sorted by length property
M
K
A
A
