Sorting a list of paths in Powershell

Question

I am trying to sort (from deepest folder to root) a list of given paths.

Is there a way to achieve this with existing functions?

Example:

Given:

test\A\directory1
test\B
test\A\directory1\end
test\A
test\C\directory2
test
test\C
test\directdirectory

To obtain:

test\C\directory2
test\A\directory1
test\directdirectory
test\C
test\B
test\A
test

Answer 1

You can use an expression in your sort command to sort by the amount of \

Sort {($_ -split '\\').Count}, {$_} -Descending

Example _{kudos to LotPings}

@(
'test\A\directory1'
'test\B'
'test\A\directory1\end'
'test\A'
'test\C\directory2'
'test'
'test\C'
'test\directdirectory'
) | Sort {($_ -split '\\').Count}, {$_} -Descending

Result

test\A\directory1\end
test\C\directory2
test\A\directory1
test\directdirectory
test\C
test\B
test\A
test

Edit: is sorting on the second key necessary _{the jury is still out on that}
