c# list object sort code example

Example 1: list sorting c#

//sorts in acending order {1,2,3,4,5}
myList.Sort();

//Sorts in decending order {5,4,3,2,1}

myList.Reverse();

//to sort a custom list of classes you have to 
//add this inside of your class
public int CompareTo(MyClass other)//replace MyClass with your class type
{
    //replace varInClass to the variable that you would like to compare
	return this.totalScore.CompareTo(other.varInClass)
}

List<Order> DescSortedList = objListOrder.OrderByDescending(o=>o.OrderDate).ToList();
