String Sort using LINQ C#

String Sort using LINQ C#

            

Sorting a string array using LINQ. suppose LINQ array has firstname,lastname ,default sort works on firstname. If user wants to sort on LastName. then you can follow this logic.

 name contains format:  FirstName,LastName

 String[] strFirstLastNames = new String[] {"Amar,josuva","peter,hans","tom,cruise","Preeti,Zinta" };

void SortByFirstName()
        {
            var query = from name in strFirstLastNames
                        orderby name
                        select name;

            foreach (String str in query)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(str);
            }
        }

OUTPUT(alphabetical order)

--------------------

Amar,josuva
peter,hans
Preeti,Zinta
tom,cruise

 void SortByLastName()
        {
            Console.WriteLine();

            var query = from name in strFirstLastNames
                        let  lastname = name.Split(new char[]{','})[1]
                        orderby lastname
                        select name;
               //For Descending  orderby lastname descending
            foreach (String str in query)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(str);
            }

        }

OUTPUT(last name, cruise, hans ,josuva,Zinta in sorted order).
