Question

my code :

IEnumerable<Blob> bb = from element in bloblist
    let locationx = element.Rectangle.X
    let locationy = element.Rectangle.Y
    orderby locationy  ascending ,locationx  descending
    select element;
foreach (var b0 in bb)
{
    listBox1.Items.Add(b0.Rectangle.X + "    " + b0.Rectangle.Y);
}

it’s work correctly but my purpose:

1.orderby locationy ascending ,locationx descending

2.if locationy[i+1]-locationy[i]<10

3.then : orderby locationx descending , locationy ascending

4.continue

example:

Sorted(x,y)   Desired
---------    ---------
   x  y      x   y
   30 0      35  7
   35 7      30  0
   15 20     30  27
   25 25     25  25
   30 27     15  20

could anyone help me?

Answer 1

It’s hard to tell exactly what you are asking for, but it looks like this should get you to the desired value:

bloblist.Select(item => new { X = item.Rectangle.X, Y = item.Rectangle.Y })
        .OrderByDescending(item => item.X)
        .ToList()
        .ForEach(item =>
        {
            listBox1.Items.Add(item.X + " " + item.Y);
        });

That should give you a set of (X,Y) pairs sorted by descending X value.
