Sorting a List of objects in C#

Question

public class CarSpecs
{
  public String CarName { get; set; }

  public String CarMaker { get; set; }

  public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }
}

Answer 1

Another option would be to use a custom comparer:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace Yournamespace
{
   class CarNameComparer : IComparer
   {
      #region IComparer Members

      public int Compare(Car car1, Car car2)
      {
         int returnValue = 1;
         if (car1 != null && car2 == null)
         {
            returnValue = 0;
         }
         else if (car1 == null && car2 != null)
         {
            returnValue = 0;
         }
         else if (car1 != null && car2 != null)
         {
            if (car1.CreationDate.Equals(car2.CreationDate))
            {
               returnValue = car1.Name.CompareTo(car2.Name);
            }
            else
            {
               returnValue = car2.CreationDate.CompareTo(car1.CreationDate);
            }
         }
         return returnValue;
      }

      #endregion
   }
}

which you call like this:

yourCarlist.Sort(new CarNameComparer());

Note: I didn't compile this code so you might have to remove typo's

Edit: modified it so the comparer compares on creationdate as requested in question.
