I am trying to add elements into a list, order them and then output them, there a number of "columns" if you like, per list
List<Info> infoList = new List<Info>();
while (dr.Read())
{
meeting_id = dr.GetValue(0).ToString();
try
{
Appointment appointment = Appointment.Bind(service, new ItemId(meeting_id));
Info data = new Info();
data.Start = appointment.Start;
data.Fruit = Convert.ToInt32(dr.GetValue(1));
data.Nuts = Convert.ToInt32(dr.GetValue(2));
infoList.Add(data);
}
Then to output it I want to order it by Start and then display all associated columns
for (int i = 0; i < infoList.Count; i++)
{
meet = meet + infoList[i];
}
First question: is the way I am inputting the data right?
Second question: How to I output all the columns to display all the associated columns? Is this possible? Is there a better practice?
Thanks
EDIT:
The class if you are interested:
public class Info
{
public DateTime Start { get; set; }
public int Fruit { get; set; }
public int Nuts { get; set; }
}

You can use Enumerable.OrderBy extension for enumerating your collection in some particular order (e.g. ordered by Start
property value):
foreach(var info in infoList.OrderBy(i => i.Start))
{
// use info object here
// info.Fruits
// info.Nuts
}
BTW consider to add sorting on database side - that will be more efficient
