Question

So I have a List of Dictionary<string, string> dict and I want to sort the List alphabetically off the dict["Title"] value.

How do I go about doing that?

And, what if I want to take the value of dict["Title"], modify it as string title = dict["Title"] + "xyz";, and then use the modified title as the sorting value of that dict (without actually changing dict["Title"])…

How would I go about doing that as well?

Thanks.

Linq it:

var dicts = new List<Dictionary<string, string>>();

var sort = dicts.OrderBy(x => x.ContainsKey("Title") ? x["Title"] : string.Empty);
var sort2 = dicts.OrderBy(x => x.ContainsKey("Title") ? x["Title"] + "xyz" : string.Empty);
