Example: How to sort an array of DirectoryInfo objects by Delegate and by Lambda Expression
// Get array of directories
DirectoryInfo tempTopDirectory = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\Temp1");
DirectoryInfo[] tempSubdirectories = tempTopDirectory.GetDirectories();
// Sort directories array by Name using delegate
Array.Sort(tempSubdirectories, delegate(DirectoryInfo x, DirectoryInfo y) { return x.Name.CompareTo(y.Name); });
// Sort directories array by Name using lambda expression
Array.Sort(tempSubdirectories, (x, y) => x.Name.CompareTo(y.Name));
How to sort directories in descending order
// Sort descending by comparing "y" to "x" instead of "x" to "y".
Array.Sort(tempSubdirectories, (x, y) => y.Name.CompareTo(x.Name));
How to sort directories by creation date
// Sort by creation date time
Array.Sort(tempSubdirectories, (x, y) => x.CreationTime.CompareTo(y.CreationTime));References
