What's your favorite LINQ to Objects operator which is not built-in? [closed]

Answer 1

Shuffle

public static IEnumerable Shuffle(this IEnumerable items)
{
    var random = new Random();
    return items.OrderBy(x => random.Next());
}

EDIT: It seems there are several issues with the above implementation. Here is an improved version based @LukeH's code and comments from @ck and @Strilanc.

private static Random _rand = new Random();
public static IEnumerable Shuffle(this IEnumerable source)
{
    var items = source == null ? new T[] { } : source.ToArray();
    var count = items.Length;
    while(count > 0)
    {
        int toReturn = _rand.Next(0, count);
        yield return items[toReturn];
        items[toReturn] = items[count - 1];
        count--;
    }
}
