C# Help: Sorting a List of Objects in C# [duplicate]

Answer 1

First, using the shorthand syntax introduced in .Net 3.5, you could make this class definition a lot shorter:

public class CarSpecs
{
    public CarSpecs() { }

    public String CarName { get; set;
    public String CarMaker { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }
}

This will compile into the exact same class as the one you have above.

Secondly, you can easily sort them using Lambda expressions or LINQ:

var linq = (from CarSpecs c in CarList
            orderby c.CreationDate ascending
            select c) as List;

var lambda = CarList.OrderBy(c => c.CreationDate).ToList();
