c# - How to sort a list by a specific property in .NET 2.0?

In .NET 4.0 you can simply use LINQ to quickly sort a list by a specific property:

  List list = ...;    
  sorted = list.OrderBy(p => p.X).ToList(); // sort list of points by X

Can you do something similar when you cannot use .NET 4.0 LINQ syntax?

Is there a one-liner sort syntax?

Answer

You need to use a delegate, almost a one-liner :)

list.Sort(delegate(Point p1, Point p2){
        return p1.X.CompareTo(p2.X);
});
