Re: sort list base on another list

[Marc Gravell]

To illustrate Peter's point - here is the code (using C# 3 for
brevity, but only .NET 2.0 - no LINQ etc) to do this using an entity
(SomeType) to represent the combined values:

Marc

using System;
using System.Collecti ons.Generic;

sealed class SomeType
{
// for C# 2, could add fields and implement properties manually
public string Foo { get; set; }
public int Bar { get; set; }
}
static class Program
{
static void Main()
{
List<SomeTypeli st = new List<SomeType>
{ // for C# 2, could use a specific .ctor
new SomeType {Foo="c", Bar=3},
new SomeType {Foo="b", Bar=9},
new SomeType {Foo="a", Bar=2}
};
// for C# 2, could be an anonymous method for comparison
list.Sort((x,y) =string.Compare (x.Foo, y.Foo));
foreach (SomeType item in list)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("{0}: {1}", item.Foo, item.Bar);
}
}
}
