c# sort a list by a column alphabetically

问题

I have a class defined and I write records to this class to a List. Having trouble sorting the list before I write an error report. I'm trying to sort the list alphabetically by the 'finderror' type before the error report is written so that the list is sorted and more organized in the error report. Here is the class:

public class types
{
    public types() { }
    public string person { get; set; }
    public string state { get; set; }
    public string phone# { get; set; }
    public string finderror { get; set; }

}

If I write this, I get the following error:

    List1 = List1.Sort();
    List1 is a global list I declared before my main.

    Error-Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<types>'

How do i sort by the 'finderror' column in the list alphabetically.

回答1:

I think you want List1 = List1.OrderBy( x => x.finderror ).ToList();

回答2:

Firstly its just

List1.Sort();

Sort method return nothing. It just sorts the list.

Secondly if you want to sort based on a property do this

List<Types> sortedlist = List1.OrderBy(x => x.finderror).ToList();
