List.sort on multiple criteria

Question

I have a list populated with a custom data class, the list has column values string (Type) as well as double (Xo). I can successfully sort the list using two lines of code, is it possible to do the .Sort in one line?

        List.Sort((x, y) => x.Xo.CompareTo(y.Xo));
        List.Sort((x, y) => string.Compare(y.Type, x.Type));

Have you tried `List.Sort((x, y) => x.Xo.CompareTo(y.Xo) && string.Compare(y.Type, x.Type))` — umutesen, Mar 11 '19 at 09:55

@HimBromBeere, I specifically asked using the .Sort function, not using the order by and thenorderby.. — Allstar, Mar 11 '19 at 10:07

You can use Linq OrderBy

var sorted = items.OrderBy(x => x.Xo).ThenBy(x => x.Type).ToList();

Seems like OP wants tom use `Sort`. not `OrderBy`. – MakePeaceGreatAgain Mar 11 '19 at 10:11
