c# linq sort ienumberable enums

try

var marketValues = ((Market[]) Enum.GetValues(typeof (Market))).ToList();

            marketValues.Sort();
            foreach (var mValue in marketValues)
            {
                DropDownList2.Items.Add(new ListItem(MarketUtil.GetDisplayString(m), "0"));
            }

Select allOpen in new window

Try changing:
            marketValues.Sort();
            foreach (var mValue in marketValues)
 
to:
            foreach (var mValue in marketValues.Sort())
 
Otherwise, the .Sort() is not doing anything.

that didn't sort them - the order was the same.  

an added complexity, i need the value of the enum as well (the int)

protected void DropDownList2_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //how do i sort these?
            foreach(Market m in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Market)).Cast<Market>())
            {
                DropDownList2.Items.Add(new ListItem(MarketUtil.GetDisplayString(m), ((int)m).ToString()));
            }
        }

for your suggestion - error
foreach cannot operate on variables of type void bc void isnt enumberable

hey thanks i'll let you know monday!
