我正在写一个地址簿程序。我将每个人的详细信息存储在List<Person>中。我需要能够按姓氏(如果有关系使用名字)或邮政编码对此列表进行排序。

到目前为止,我有这个:

public class Person
{
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string PostCode { get; set; }
    // etc..
}

public class AddressBook
{
    public List<Person> People { get; set; }

    // asc: ascending or descending
    // column: the property to use when sorting
    //         (in my case either LastName or Postcode)
    public void Sort(bool asc, string column)
    {
        // What should I put here?
    }

    // etc...
}

我尝试过使用ICompareIComparable接口,但我只是没有得到它。

如何编写Sort方法?

您可以尝试使用LINQ扩展方法OrderByOrderByDescendingThenByThenByDescending

using System.Linq;

// ...

public void Sort(bool asc, string column)
{
    switch (column)
    {
        case "LastName":
            People = People.OrderBy(x => x.LastName).ThenBy(x => x.FirstName).ToList();
            break;
        case "PostCode":
            People = People.OrderBy(x => x.PostCode).ToList();
            break;
        default:
            // error handling
    }

    if (!asc)
    {
        People.Reverse();
    }
}

您还可以查看动态LINQ,它将简化此代码。

您可以使用IComparer<T>的实现:

public class PersonComparer : IComparer<Person>
{
    private readonly bool _sortAscending;
    private readonly string _columnToSortOn;

    public PersonComparer(bool sortAscending, string columnToSortOn)
    {
        _sortAscending = sortAscending;
        _columnToSortOn = columnToSortOn;
    }

    public int Compare(Person x, Person y)
    {
        if(x == null && y == null) return 0;
        if(x == null) return ApplySortDirection(-1);
        if(y == null) return ApplySortDirection(1);

        switch(_columnToSortOn)
        {
            case "LastName":
                return ApplySortDirection(SortByName(x, y));
                break;
            case "PostCode":
                return ApplySortDirection(SortByPostCode(x, y));
                break;
            default:
                throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(
                    string.Format("Can't sort on column {0}",
                    _columnToSortOn));
        }
    }

    private int SortByPostCode(Person x, Person y)
    {
        return x.PostCode.CompareTo(y.PostCode);
    }

    private int SortByName(Person x, Person y)
    {
        var lastNameResult = x.LastName.CompareTo(y.LastName);
        if(lastNameResult != 0)
            return lastNameResult;
        return x.FirstName.CompareTo(y.FirstName);
    }

    private int ApplySortDirection(int result)
    {
        return _sortAscending ? result : (result * -1);
    }
}

您可以在Sort类的AddressBook方法中使用它,假设PeopleList<Person>

public void Sort(bool asc, string column)
{
    People.Sort(new PersonComparer(asc, column));
}

此代码具有使用就地排序的好处。

假设:

 List<Person> personList;

然后与Linq:

 IEnumerable<Person> orderedByLastName = personList.OrderBy(p => p.LastName)
