sorting - How to sort a list of objects by a specific field in C#?

Question

I have this class:

public class StatInfo
{
  public string contact;
  public DateTime date;
  public string action;
}

then I have a list of StatInfo, but I'm not sure how to sort it according to the date field. Should I use the sort method? Should I create my own?

var _allStatInfo = new List<StatInfo>();
// adding lots of stuff in it
_allStatInfo.SortByDate???

What is the best way of doing this without having to write tons of code (if possible)?

Thanks

Answer 1

Using LINQ:

var sortedList = _allStatInfo.OrderBy(si => si.date).ToList();

Sorting the original list:

_allStatInfo.Sort(new Comparison<StatInfo>((x, y) => DateTime.Compare(x.date, y.date)));
