Sort string list with dates in C#

Question

I have a List with dates.
My list is:

{\"01/01/2013\",\"10/01/2013\",\"20/01/2013\"}

I want to sort the list

Answer 1

Because they are the UK/AUS format (Day/Month/Year), you can sort them using OrderByDescending:

List dates = new List() { "01/01/2013", "10/01/2013", "20/10/2013" };

foreach (var date in dates.OrderByDescending(x => x))
    Console.WriteLine(date);

Personally I would convert them to DateTime objects first..
