Create a class and query the list:

Public Class SortingAlgorithm
{
    public int ID {get; set;}
    public string name {get; set;}
    public string address1 {get; set;}
    public string city {get; set;}
    public string state {get; set;}
    public int age {get; set;}
}

//declare a sorting algorithm list
List sortAlg = new List();

//Add multiple values to the list
sortAlg.Add( new SortingAlgorithm() {ID = ID, name = name, address1 = address1, city = city, state = state, age = age});
sortAlg.Add( new SortingAlgorithm() {ID = ID, name = name, address1 = address1, city = city, state = state, age = age});
sortAlg.Add( new SortingAlgorithm() {ID = ID, name = name, address1 = address1, city = city, state = state, age = age});

//query and order by the list
  var sortedlist = (from s in sortAlg
                    select new { s.ID, s.name, s.address1, s.city, s.state, s.age })
                                                     .OrderBy(r => r.ID)
                                                     .ThenBy(r=> r.name)
                                                     .ThenBy(r=> r.city)
                                                     .ThenBy(r=>r.state)
                                                     .ThenBy(r=>r.age);
