You can sort a generic List in C# using different methods. Here I cover only two options which I found them most handy. The third option is to put the method into a class that implements the IComparer interface.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\/\/\/<\/span> I define an Item type having some fields and sort based on a preferred field
<\/span>\/\/\/<\/span> To do so I need to implement a method would be called during the sort action for each pair.

<\/span>\/\/\/<\/span> NOTE: You could also create a class implementing IComparer and use the class to pass to the Sort method.
