How to sort() a custom class?

I am studying for MCTS exam, and figuring out how to sort custom class by sort() method.
I have created a "Burger" class, implemented IComparable, accessor variable, and inserted some integers inside 6 instances of class. But I am not sure how to sort them by sort() method so that I could print the integers in asecending order by Console.WriteLine().
Can you provide me inputs how to use sort() in such circumstance?

The code is given below:

namespace CustomClassSort
{

    class Burger : IComparable<Burger>
    {
        private int burger;
        public Burger(int burger)
        {
            this.burger = burger;
        }

        public int CompareTo(Burger other)
        {
            return this.iloveburger.CompareTo(other.iloveburger);            
        }

        public int iloveburger
        {
            get
            {
                return this.burger;
            }
            set
            {
                this.burger = value;
            }
        }
       
    }
    
    class IDateABurger
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Burger a = new Burger(2);
            Burger b = new Burger(22);
            Burger c = new Burger(12);
            Burger d = new Burger(33);
            Burger e = new Burger(44);
            Burger f = new Burger(5);

        }
    }
}

Let me know if you have any question.

P.S: I don't actually date a burger. :)

Look at the overloads for Sort and see if you can tell how you might use that to sort ; )

try:

public int compareTo(Burger other) {
If (this.Burger < other.Burger) return -1;
If (this.Burger == other.Burger) return 0;
If (this.Burger > other.Burger) return +1;
}
