LINQ and CASE Sensitivity

Question

I have this LINQ Query:

TempRecordList = new ArrayList(TempRecordList.Cast().OrderBy(s => s.Substring(9, 30)).ToArray());

Answer 1

OrderBy() returns results in ascending order.

e comes before h, thus the first result (remember you're comparing on a substring that starts with the character in the 9th position...not the beginning of the string) and i comes before y, thus the second. Case sensitivity has nothing to do with it.

If you want results in descending order, you should use OrderByDescending():

TempRecordList.Cast
              .OrderByDescending(s => s.Substring(9, 30)).ToArray());
