Another possibility:<br />
First of all, unless you are stuck with using framework 1.1, you should not be using an ArrayList at all. You should use a strongly typed generic List&lt;DateTime&gt; instead.<br />
<br />
For custom sorting there is an overload of the Sort method that takes a comparer. By reversing the regular comparison you get a sort in descending order:<br />
<br />
list.Sort(delegate(DateTim<wbr />e x, DateTime y){ return y.CompareTo(x); });<br />
