Sort one list by another

Question

I have 2 list objects, one is just a list of ints, the other is a list of objects but the objects has an ID property.

What i want to do is sort the list of objects b

Answer 1

Join is the best candidate if you want to match on the exact integer (if no match is found you get an empty sequence). If you want to merely get the sort order of the other list (and provided the number of elements in both lists are equal), you can use Zip.

var result = objects.Zip(ints, (o, i) => new { o, i})
                    .OrderBy(x => x.i)
                    .Select(x => x.o);

Pretty readable.
