C# Sorted List by Value with Object

Question

I\'m trying to create an \"ordered\" cache of objects in C#, where the order is determined by how many times that has been accessed.

I\'ve looked into Dictionary, Sorted

Building upon your pseudo code, this seems to be working:

var MyCache = new Dictionary
{
    {"My result 1", new Result("My result 1")},
    {"My result 2", new Result("My result 2")},
    {"My result 3", new Result("My result 3")},
    {"My result 4", new Result("My result 4")}
};

MyCache["My result 2"].IncreaseHits();
MyCache["My result 2"].IncreaseHits();
MyCache["My result 3"].IncreaseHits();

foreach (var result in MyCache.OrderByDescending(x => x.Value.Hits))
{
    Console.WriteLine(result.Value.Name + " - hits " + result.Value.Hits);
}
