Sorting an IList in C#

Question

So I came across an interesting problem today. We have a WCF web service that returns an IList. Not really a big deal until I wanted to sort it.

Turns out the IList

try this  **USE ORDER BY** :

   public class Employee
    {
        public string Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

 private static IList GetItems()
        {
            List lst = new List();

            lst.Add(new Employee { Id = "1", Name = "Emp1" });
            lst.Add(new Employee { Id = "2", Name = "Emp2" });
            lst.Add(new Employee { Id = "7", Name = "Emp7" });
            lst.Add(new Employee { Id = "4", Name = "Emp4" });
            lst.Add(new Employee { Id = "5", Name = "Emp5" });
            lst.Add(new Employee { Id = "6", Name = "Emp6" });
            lst.Add(new Employee { Id = "3", Name = "Emp3" });

            return lst;
        }

**var lst = GetItems().AsEnumerable();

            var orderedLst = lst.OrderBy(t => t.Id).ToList();

            orderedLst.ForEach(emp => Console.WriteLine("Id - {0} Name -{1}", emp.Id, emp.Name));**
