Is there an easy way in xunit.net to compare two collections without regarding the items' order?

Question

In one of my tests, I want to ensure that a collection has certain items. Therefore, I want to compare this collection with the items of an expected collection not r

Answer 1

Maybe another way is:

Assert.True(expected.SequenceEqual(actual));

This does checks the order too. This is what happens internally:

using (IEnumerator e1 = first.GetEnumerator())
using (IEnumerator e2 = second.GetEnumerator())
{
    while (e1.MoveNext())
    {
        if (!(e2.MoveNext() && comparer.Equals(e1.Current, e2.Current))) return false;
    }
    if (e2.MoveNext()) return false;
}
return true;

So if you don't care about the order, just order both lists before:

Assert.True(expected.OrderBy(i => i).SequenceEqual(actual.OrderBy(i => i)));
