Question

I have a List object that includes 3 items: Partial, Full To H, and Full To O.

I’m binding this list to an asp OptionButtonList, and it’s sorting it in alphabetical order. However, I want to sort the list like the following:

Full To H, Partial, Full To O.

How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

Linq is great for this. You could even build the order sequence up to have it defined on the fly since the execution of the sort is not executed until the ToList.

 var sortedList = yourList.OrderBy(i => i.FullToH).
     ThenBy(i => i.Partial).
     ThenBy(i => i.FullToO).ToList();
