Sorting a list of enumerations

So I have an enumeration 

public enum CardValue
{
    Deuce = 2, Three, Four.... //And so on..
}

Then I also have a structure

public struct Card
{
   public CardSuit S;
   public CardValue CV;

   public Card(CardSuit Suit, CardValue value)
   {
       S = suit;
       CV = value;
   }
}

Then I populated my list with the some card values (all random). I am trying to sort them so I can have the value from highest to lowest, and I can't seem to get it right. What I am trying is:

List<Card> Hand1 = new List<Deck>();
Hand1.Sort(CardVale.Ace => CardValue.Duece)

I was just wondering what is wrong. If anyone would be able to help me that would be greatly appreciated.

Sort takes an expression that converts the class in list to the property you want to sort by

Hand1.Sort(x=>x.CV)

An expression like x=>x.CV is the equivelent of

private static CardValue GetFieldToSortOn(Card x) { return x.CV; }
