How can I sort generic list DESC and ASC?

Question

How can I sort generic list DESC and ASC? With LINQ and without LINQ? I\'m using VS2008.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Li         


        

Answer 1

I was checking all the answer above and wanted to add one more additional information. I wanted to sort the list in DESC order and I was searching for the solution which is faster for bigger inputs and I was using this method earlier :-

li.Sort();
li.Reverse();

but my test cases were failing for exceeding time limits, so below solution worked for me:-

li.Sort((a, b) => b.CompareTo(a));

So Ultimately the conclusion is that 2nd way of Sorting list in Descending order is bit faster than the previous one.
