Enum.GetNames() results in unexpected order with negative enum constants

Question

I have the following enum definition (in C#):

public enum ELogLevel
{
    General = -1,  // Should only be used in drop-down box in Merlinia Administrator lo         


        

Answer 1

Depending on how the sorting occurs, it may be that it is sorting the values as if they were unsigned, in which case, -1 = 0xffffffff, which is of course greater than 7.
