How to sort a generic list withouth knowing in advance which property to base the sort

Dear technofile, this link you sent is the one I said it doesn't help for me.

I think this is exactly the case where trying to make something too easy just makes it too complicated and impossible to maintain.

The article is nice but I would advise you to either:
1) you always sort an object on the same property or you want to have a "default" sort behavior: implement the IComparable interface
2) you never know which property to use for the sort:
products.Sort(delegate(Product p1, Product p2)            
 {return p1.ProductName.CompareTo(p2.ProductName);});

honestly, once you get used to how delegates and anonymous methods look like semantically it's really not a big deal having to use this a few places in your code. If you do wish to do something more complicated you can use "dynamic delegates". There's some info here if you wish: http://www.devsource.com/c/a/Languages/Working-with-Delegates-in-C/2/ or go for some reflection as suggested by Corey.

Corey,

Would you mind give me a snippet on how to use the reflection to know the property?

Thanks.
