Can you enumerate a collection in C# out of order?

Question

Is there a way to use a foreach loop to iterate through a collection backwards or in a completely random order?

Answer 1

Use random ordering

List list = new List();

list.Add(new Employee { Id = 1, Name = "Davolio Nancy" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 2, Name = "Fuller Andrew" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 3, Name = "Leverling Janet" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 4, Name = "Peacock Margaret" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 5, Name = "Buchanan Steven" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 6, Name = "Suyama Michael" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 7, Name = "King Robert" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 8, Name = "Callahan Laura" });
list.Add(new Employee { Id = 9, Name = "Dodsworth Anne" });

list = list.OrderBy(emp => Guid.NewGuid()).ToList();
