how to sort List in c# / .net

Question

I have a class PropertyDetails:

public class PropertyDetails
{

     public int Sequence { get; set; }

     public int Length { get; set; }

           


        

Answer 1

If you want to sort the existing list in-place then you can use the Sort method:

List propertyDetailsList = ...
propertyDetailsList.Sort((x, y) => x.Sequence.CompareTo(y.Sequence));

If you want to create a new, sorted copy of the list then you can use LINQ's OrderBy method:

List propertyDetailsList = ...
var sorted = propertyDetailsList.OrderBy(x => x.Sequence).ToList();

(And if you don't need the results as a concrete List then you can omit the final ToList call.)
