<

Answer 1

new string (str.OrderBy(c => c).ToArray())

Answer 2

You can use LINQ:

String.Concat(str.OrderBy(c => c))

If you want to remove duplicates, add .Distinct().

Answer 3

Yes; copy the string to a char array, sort the char array, then copy that back into a string.

static string SortString(string input)
{
    char[] characters = input.ToArray();
    Array.Sort(characters);
    return new string(characters);
}

Answer 4

You can use this

string x = "ABCGH"

char[] charX = x.ToCharArray();

Array.Sort(charX);

This will sort your string.
