I need to sort an OrderedDictionary (System.Collections.Specialized) I have this code:
var od = new System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary();
od.Add("a1", 3);
od.Add("a2", 5);
od.Add("a3", 2);
od.Add("a4", 4);
I wish to sort it using values. Can I do it using Linq?
Following will give you a sorted dictionary based on your OrderedDictionary.
var normalOrderedDictionary= od.Cast<DictionaryEntry>()
.OrderBy(r=> r.Value)
.ToDictionary(c=> c.Key, d=> d.Value);
There is one thing though, ToDictionary
returned a regular dictionary but the order is maintained in the dictionary for the lookup, as soon as any new item is inserted in the dictionary, they the order cannot be guaranteed. To avoid this, use SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>
which has a constructor that takes a regular dictionary as parameter
var sortedDictionary = new SortedDictionary<string, string>(normalOrderedDictionary);
(Make sure to replace string
with the correct types for Key and value in the above line) .
Output:
foreach (var entry in sortedDictionary)
Console.WriteLine("Key: {0} Value: {1}", entry.Key, entry.Value);
Key: a3 Value: 2
Key: a1 Value: 3
Key: a4 Value: 4
Key: a2 Value: 5
You can enumerate over the values/entries by the value easily. You'll just have to cast to the appropriate type in order to activate the linq features.
var sortedOrder = od.Values
.Cast<int>() // this is an enumeration of ints
.OrderBy(i => i);; // enumerate through ordered by the value
foreach (var item in sortedOrder)
{
// do stuff
}
