Is there a list that is sorted automatically in .NET?

Question

I have a collection of Layers where they have names and colors. What I want to do is to sort these first based on colors, then based on their names:

Did you search for it? Generic SortedList and SortedList.

So I missed the duplicate part which make it a little bit harder I agree. But here is how I would solve it:

var sortedList = new SortedList>();
var redSortedList = new SortedList();
// Add all layers associated with the color red
sortedList.Add(LayerColor.Red, redSortedList);

Will that work for you. Also, I would prefer to use linq but if you really want a sorted list my solution will most likely work.

Last try:) :

public class YourClass
{
    private List _layers;
    public List Layers
    {
        get
        {
            _layers = _layers.OrderBy(y => y.LayerColor).ThenBy(y => y.Name).ToList();
            return _layers;
        }
        set
        {
            _layers = value;
        }
    }
}

Note that I'm writing directly in browser without testing it in VS (sitting on OS X), but you probably get the point.
