If you mean an in-place sort  i e  the list is updated    people Sort  x  y    gt  string Compare x LastName  y LastName      If you mean a new list   var newList   people OrderBy x  gt x LastName  ToList       ToList optional

Do you need the list to be sorted in place  or just an ordered sequence of the contents of the list  The latter is easier   var peopleInOrder   people OrderBy person   gt  person LastName     To sort in place  you d need an IComparer lt Person  or a Comparison lt Person   For that  you may wish to consider ProjectionComparer in MiscUtil    I know I keep bringing MiscUtil up - it just keeps being relevant
