Sorting a List<int>

Question

Using C# what is the best way to sort a List numerically? my list has items 5,7,3 and I would like them sorted 3,5,7. I know some longer ways, but I would imagine linq has a quicker way?

sorry this was end of day, my mind is else where it worked, didn't see it change the first time:(

Answer 1

There's no need for LINQ here, just call Sort:

list.Sort(); 

Example code:

List<int> list = new List<int> { 5, 7, 3 }; list.Sort(); foreach (int x in list) {     Console.WriteLine(x); } 

Result:

3 5 7 

Answer 2

Keeping it simple is the key.

Try Below.

var values = new int[5,7,3]; values = values.OrderBy(p => p).ToList();
