Specifies the direction of a sort operation.

public enum SortOrder

Sorts in descending order.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the enum to indicate the direction of a sort operation in a custom comparer.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Cuemon;

namespace Contoso.Search;

public sealed class SortOrderExample
{
    public static void Run()
    {
        var names = new List<string> { "Charlie", "Alice", "Bob" };

        Apply(names, SortOrder.Ascending);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", names));

        Apply(names, SortOrder.Descending);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", names));
    }

    private static void Apply(List<string> names, SortOrder sortOrder)
    {
        names.Sort((left, right) =>
        {
            int result = string.Compare(left, right, StringComparison.Ordinal);
            return sortOrder == SortOrder.Descending ? -result : result;
        });
    }
}
