How do I LINQ order a collection

I have a collection of class objects:

Tests

This collection contains many Test instances:

public class Test {
   public string column1 { get; set; }
}

I would like to use LINQ to order the contents of Tests and put into a new collection called TestsOrdered. I want to order by the contents of column1. I would like to do this with LINQ as later I want to add more to the ordering.

How can I do this with LINQ.

Use OrderBy or OrderByDescending (if you want to sort in descending direction)

var TestsOrdered = tests.OrderBy(x => x.column1);

LINQ:

var result =
from test in tests
orderby test.column1
select test;

Fluent :

var result = tests.OrderBy(x => x.column1);

Can you just do it like this:

var TestsOrdered = Tests.OrderBy( t => t.column1 );

List<Test> testList = new List<Test>();
// .. fill your list
testList = testList.OrderBy(x => x.column1).ToList();
