Question

public class BatchProcess
    {
        public string process { get; set; }
        public DateTime runtime { get; set; }
        public bool running { get; set; }
    }

So I have a list of these guys – List<BatchProcess> list.

How would I sort based one each of those columns? I’ve heard I can do it with LINQ but I’m so bad with LINQ. How would that look?

Thanks.

You could sort by runtime, for example, via:

var orderedByRuntime = list.OrderBy(p => p.runtime);

If you wanted to sort by “process” in descending order, you can use:

var orderedByProcessDesc = list.OrderByDecending(p => p.process);
