Question

Is it possible in windows phone 8.1 application? if yes, please paste some sample code here.

Answer 1

Check out <CollectionViewSource> : MSDN CollectionViewSource . It basically has almost everything you're looking for. They have a nice example at the bottom of the page.

With the right LINQ statements and orderby you can sort your list the way you want, then you can assign this sorted list as the ItemsSource of a ListView or whatever UI container of your choosing.

Answer 2

There is no SortedList for Windows Phone 8.1 but Google has provided a nice replacement:

You can also try SortedDictionary.
