List sort question

Question

I'm just learning lists in cs and put some code up (RacerListSort). I was wondering how best to take the list and sort it by "racetotal" in descending order then writing it out by racetotal + name.

Answer 2

Notice that your list is racers and the type of list is Racers.
This is confusing and will create bugs in the long run.
An object is always singular. So I made the class Racer
And the list can be Racers (something containing more objects of type Racer)
My personal preference is to add the word list to it so I made it racerslist

You can do it using list.sort but then you have to implement the IComparable interface
It is easier using LINQ or Lambda
