sort list by OrderBy in c# code example

Example 1: c# how to sort a list

var simpleList = new List<ObjectName>();
// Order by a property
list.OrderBy(o => o.PropertyName);
// Order by multiple property
list.OrderBy(o => o.PropertyName).ThenBy(o => o.AnotherProperty);
// Same but descending
list.OrderByDescending(o => o.PropertyName).ThenByDescending(o => o.AnotherProperty);

Example 2: 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)
}
