Ordering Collections with enum properties using LINQ
Interesting find today. To order a collection based on an enum alphabetically, you can use LINQ as per the example below:
var collection = new List<myCustomObjectWithEnumProperty>();
var sortedCollection = collection.OrderBy(c=>c.EnumProperty.ToString());
To order a collection based on an enum by value, you can do the following:
var collection = new List<myCustomObjectWithEnumProperty>();
var sortedCollection = collection.OrderBy(c=>(int)c.EnumProperty);
Simple as that!
Happy coding...
