Good morning all.

Is there any way (not manually), in which you can sort a List or a Dictionary by its key, value, etc?.

Thank you ever so much

There's no a native method for ordering a List of <T> unfortunately.

Available methods are listed here:

Have you tried filling them in order? Like if you want to fill a list of names, you could sort the source first and then fill the list. It'll technically be in index order but effectively sorted the way you filled the list. Not sure if that applies to dictionaries though

Thanks for your answer Daniel.

But I can't sort it in advance. I have a text whitout order (3;45;1;234;7.....) in a text variable and I need these numbers ordered.
