how to use sort function of list in c# code example

Example 1: list sorting c#

using System.Linq;

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

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

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string[] colors = new string[]
        {
            "orange",
            "blue",
            "yellow",
            "aqua",
            "red"
        };
        // Call Array.Sort method.
        Array.Sort(colors);
        foreach (string color in colors)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(color);
