How do I sort List> according to number of fields?

The list got structure like

Answer 1

List> strings = new List>();

// add your strings

strings = new List>(from str in strings orderby str.Count select str);

Obviously you can adapt this to fit your scenario, but this should give you the general idea of how to create a list that's sorted by the number of elements within a particular string in another list.
