[ACCEPTED]-How to sort an array of FileInfo[]-.net

Call Array.Sort, passing in a comparison 4 delegate:

Array.Sort(taskFiles, delegate(FileInfo f1, FileInfo f2) {
    return f1.Name.CompareTo(f2.Name);
});

In C# 3 this becomes slightly simpler:

Array.Sort(taskFiles, (f1, f2) => f1.Name.CompareTo(f2.Name));

Or 3 you can use a StringComparer if you want to use a case-insensitive 2 sort order:

Array.Sort(taskFiles,
           (x, y) => StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase.Compare(x.Name, y.Name));

(or use string.Compare(x.Name, y.Name, true), or any of the many 1 other ways of comparing strings :)

Array.Sort(taskFiles, delegate (FileInfo x, FileInfo y) {
    return string.Compare(x.Name,y.Name);
});

Comparison<FileInfo> comparison = new Comparison<FileInfo>(delegate(FileInfo a, FileInfo b)
{
    return String.Compare(a.Name, b.Name);
});

Array.Sort(taskFiles, comparison);

But anyway I think the result of GetFiles 1 is already sorted by name...
