    {        
        Console.WriteLine("Podaj Imie: ");
        name = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Podaj Wiek: ");
        age = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.WriteLine("Podaj Wagę: ");
        weigth = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.WriteLine("Podaj Kolor Futra: ");
        furColour = Console.ReadLine();
        ToString();                    
     }

List<Animal> animals = new List<Animal>();     // list declaration

Mammal mammal = new Mammal();
mammal.CreateMammal();
Console.WriteLine("\n\nTwoj ssak:\n" + 
mammal.ToString());
animals.Add(mammal);
.
.
.

//animals.Sort((x, y) => x."name" - y."name");  // algorytm sortowania
//printAnimals(animals);

animals.Sort();                   // here we go with problem

foreach (string value in animals)
{
Console.WriteLine(value);
}
.
.
.
 public static void printAnimals(List<Animal> animals) 
    {
        foreach (var animal in animals)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(animal.ToString());
        }
    }

Well you can use Linq OrderBy() probably to sort by name property like (under System.Linq namespace)

var orderedAnimals = animals.OrderBy(x => x.name).ToList();

Unfortunately this not working for me. https://github.com/TomaszNowicki/Zoo here is the whole code – Tomasz Paweł Nowicki May 09 '19 at 20:07
Oki I'm so stupid.... I forget to print ordered list instead of list. – Tomasz Paweł Nowicki May 09 '19 at 21:19
foreach (var animal in orderedAnimals) { Console.WriteLine(animal.ToString()); } – Tomasz Paweł Nowicki May 09 '19 at 21:37
