C# linq sort - quick way of instantiating IComparer

Question

When using linq and you have

c.Sort()

Is there any good inline way of defining a Comparison and/or IComparer class w

Answer 1

I have a ProjectionComparer class in MiscUtil, so you can do:

IComparer comparer = ProjectionComparer.Create(x => x.Name);
c.Sort(comparer);

The code is also in this answer.

You can create a Comparison instance directly with a lambda expression too, but I don't generally like the duplication that involves. Having said which, it often ends up being somewhat shorter...

EDIT: As noted, as of .NET 4.5, use Comparer.Create to do the same thing.
