Sort a List using query expressions

Question

I have a problem using Linq to order a structure like this :

public class Person
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public List Attribu         


        

Answer 1

Why don't you use a key-value dictionary instead of your List ? It would suit better, i think, and make everything else easier.

Update - like this:

public class Person
{
  public Dictionary Attributes = new Dictionary();
}

List people = new List();

Person rebecca = new Person();
rebecca.Attributes["Age"] = "32";
rebecca.Attributes["FirstName"] = "Rebecca";
rebecca.Attributes["LastName"] = "Johnson";
rebecca.Attributes["Gender"] = "Female";
people.Add(rebecca);

var PeopleInAgeOrder = people.OrderBy(p => p.Attributes["Age"]);
