Sorting Arrays Through LINQ (Vb.net)

The following code shows you sorting arrays in ascending and descending orders using LINQ.








Array In Ascending Order:

Imports System.Linq

Dim array As Integer() = New Integer() {2, 1, -1, 0, 10, 4, 6, 11}

        Dim query = _

            From i As Integer In array _

            Order By i Ascending _

            Select i

   For Each value As Integer In query

        Console.Write(value.ToString() & " ")

   Next

Output:

 -1 0 1 2 4 6 10 11

Or,

Dim strArray As String() = New String() {"D", "E", "A", "B", "Z", "X"}

        Dim query = _

            From i As String In strArray _

            Order By i Ascending _

            Select i

        For Each value As String In query

            Console.Write(value & " ")

        Next

Output:
A B D E X Z


Array In Descending Order:

Dim query2 = _

            From i As Integer In array _

            Order By i Descending _

            Select i

    For Each value As Integer In query2

        Console.Write(value.ToString() & " ")

    Next

 Output:

11 10 6 4 2 1 0 -1

Or,

Dim strArray As String() = New String() {"D", "E", "A", "B", "Z", "X"}

        Dim query = _

            From i As String In strArray _

            Order By i Descending _

            Select i

        For Each value As String In query

            Console.Write(value & " ")

        Next

Output:
Z X E D B A
