Generic List - moving an item within the list

Question

So I have a generic list, and an oldIndex and a newIndex value.

I want to move the item at oldIndex, to newIndex.

Answer 1

I know this question is old but I adapted THIS response of javascript code to C#. Hope it helps

public static void Move(this List list, int oldIndex, int newIndex)
{
    // exit if positions are equal or outside array
    if ((oldIndex == newIndex) || (0 > oldIndex) || (oldIndex >= list.Count) || (0 > newIndex) ||
        (newIndex >= list.Count)) return;
    // local variables
    var i = 0;
    T tmp = list[oldIndex];
    // move element down and shift other elements up
    if (oldIndex < newIndex)
    {
        for (i = oldIndex; i < newIndex; i++)
        {
            list[i] = list[i + 1];
        }
    }
        // move element up and shift other elements down
    else
    {
        for (i = oldIndex; i > newIndex; i--)
        {
            list[i] = list[i - 1];
        }
    }
    // put element from position 1 to destination
    list[newIndex] = tmp;
}
