How to sort an array containing class objects by a property value of a class instance? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Have MyClass implement IComparable interface and then use Array.Sort

Something like this will work for CompareTo (assuming the Name property has type string)

public int CompareTo(MyClass other)
{
    return this.Name.CompareTo(other.Name);
}

Or simply using Linq

MyClass[] sorted = myClassArray.OrderBy(c => c.Name).ToArray();

Answer 2

You can use the Array.Sort overload that takes a Comparison<T> parameter:

Array.Sort(myClassArray,
    delegate(MyClass x, MyClass y) { return x.Name.CompareTo(y.Name); });
