<div>
you don't need to pass the property as string, use OrderBy:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-38813824-1">actionList.OrderBy(n=&gt;n.DueDate);</code></pre>
<br />
you can also sort by multiple properties, for instance:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-38813824-2">actionList.OrderBy(n =&gt; n.DueDate).ThenBy(n =&gt;n.Property2).ThenBy(n =&gt; n.Property3);</code></pre>
</div>


you don't need to pass the property as string, use OrderBy:



actionList.OrderBy(n=>n.DueDate);

actionList.OrderBy(n => n.DueDate).ThenBy(n =>n.Property2).ThenBy(n => n.Property3);

This seems to work it sorts my list of ProjectActions by DueDate<br />
<br />
actionList.Sort(delegate(P<wbr />rojectActi<wbr />on al1, ProjectAction al2) { return al1.DueDate.CompareTo(al2.<wbr />DueDate); });<br />
<br />
I would like to pass in the property to sort by as a parameter<br />
<br />
string SortBy = &quot;DueDate&quot;<br />
<br />
something like this.<br />
al1(SortBy).compareto al2(SortBy)<br />
<br />
Is it possible to do this

Sort object using parameter for property name

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
