Date Sorting of ISet collection

Question

User2096382003 posted

I am looking how to do sorting on a collection of dates. 

These are coming in as an ISet<DateTime> collection. ie (2005-07-01, 2005-01-02, 2005-01-01, 2005-05-03)

I need to determine from this collection which dates contain an 'R' and sort these in ascending order... the others will sort in descending order

so the above would result in 2005-01-01, 2005-01-02, 2005-07-01, 2005-05-03

whats the best approach to solve this?

A DateTime cannot contain an 'R'?  A DateTime is, at its heart, a number.  The number of 100nS ticks since some base.  There is no 'R' in a DateTime.

apologies, i meant where the month will contain "R" (date.tostring("MMMM")

so essentially these will be ascending order of date, and other months descending 

then latter appended to the former

Hi mark-1961,

so the above would result in 2005-01-01, 2005-01-02, 2005-07-01, 2005-05-03

so essentially these will be ascending order of date, and other months descending 

According to your description, I cannot understand your requirement.

If you want to sort in ascending order by date, then the result should be  2005-01-01, 2005-01-02, 2005-05-03, 2005-07-01.

If you want to descend by month, then the result should be 2005-07-01, 2005-05-03, 2005-01-02, 2005-01-01.

This can't satisfy these two conditions at the same time.

If I misunderstand your requirement, please post more details information about your requirement.

Best regards,

Sam
