How to sort elements of array list in C#

Question

I have an ArrayList that contains,

[0] = \"1\"
[1] = \"10\"
[2] = \"2\"
[3] = \"15\"
[4] = \"17\"
[5] = \"5\"
[6] = \"6\"
[7] = \"27\"
[8] = \"8\"
[9] = \"9\"
         


        

Answer 1

You'll be better of creating another array with Int values and then sorting it with ArrayList.Sort(). You could call ArrayList.Sort() and pass it a delegate that will compare those strings as numbers but it will be slower. How much slower depends on size of your array and I personally think for sizes less then 100 it doesn't really matter.
