Question

I have a simple class that I add to a list, and once I have everything added I want to sort by GridFieldOrder, this should be simple but I’m not able to put it together.

List<UserSearchSetupReOrderIng> UserSearchSetupOmega = new List<UserSearchSetupReOrderIng>();

 class UserSearchSetupReOrderIng
{
    public string UID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int GridFieldOrder { get; set; }
    public string Column { get; set; }
}

So basically if I have 100 items in my list, I just want to sort all of them by GridFieldOrder in order of lowest to highest value. How do I do that?

Answer 1

The OrderBy extension method should do the trick.

var sortedList = UserSearchSetupOmega.OrderBy(i => i.GridFieldOrder);

for ascending order. (OrderByDescending for descending order.)
