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

Answer 1

This looks MUCH MORE SIMPLE if you ask me. This works PERFECTLY for me.

You could use Cast() to change it to IList then use OrderBy():

    var ordered = theIList.Cast().OrderBy(e => e);

WHERE T is the type eg. Model.Employee or Plugin.ContactService.Shared.Contact

Then you can use a for loop and its DONE.

  ObservableCollection ContactItems= new ObservableCollection();

    foreach (var item in ordered)
    {
       ContactItems.Add(item);
    }
