Sort array by member variables

If I have a class like this

public class Character
{
    public int speed = 0;
    //Other code...
}

And another class which takes Characters for input, how can I sort the characters based on their speed?

I'm currently using an ArrayList to store the characters.

This is a mockup of what I'm looking for:
Before
character 1... speed 4
character 2... speed 9
character 3... speed 1
After
character 3... speed 1
character 1... speed 4
character 2... speed 9

You can use LINQ:

var orderedBySpeed = characters.OrderBy(c => c.Speed);

However, use a generic List<Character> instead of an ArrayList. If you insist on an ArrayList(there's no reason to do so):

var orderedBySpeed = characters.Cast<Character>().OrderBy(c => c.speed);
