下面的代码片段按值对Dictionary进行排序。

代码首先创建一个字典，然后使用OrderBy方法对条目进行排序。

public void SortDictionary()  
{  
  
    // Create a dictionary with string key and Int16 value pair  
    Dictionary<string, Int16> AuthorList = new Dictionary<string, Int16>();  
    AuthorList.Add("Mahesh Chand", 35);  
    AuthorList.Add("Mike Gold", 25);  
    AuthorList.Add("Praveen Kumar", 29);  
    AuthorList.Add("Raj Beniwal", 21);  
    AuthorList.Add("Dinesh Beniwal", 84);   
  
    // Sorted by Value  
  
    Console.WriteLine("Sorted by Value");  
    Console.WriteLine("=============");  
    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Int16> author in AuthorList.OrderBy(key => key.Value))  
    {  
        Console.WriteLine("Key: {0}, Value: {1}", author.Key, author.Value);  
    }  
} 

使用VB对SortedDictionary列表进行排序以绑定到ListView控件。NET:

Dim MyDictionary As SortedDictionary(Of String, MyDictionaryEntry)

MyDictionaryListView.ItemsSource = MyDictionary.Values.OrderByDescending(Function(entry) entry.MyValue)

Public Class MyDictionaryEntry ' Need Property for GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding
    Public Property MyString As String
    Public Property MyValue As Integer
End Class

XAML:

<ListView Name="MyDictionaryListView">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=MyString}" Header="MyStringColumnName"></GridViewColumn>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=MyValue}" Header="MyValueColumnName"></GridViewColumn>
         </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

获得一个排序字典最简单的方法是使用内置的SortedDictionary类:

//Sorts sections according to the key value stored on "sections" unsorted dictionary, which is passed as a constructor argument
System.Collections.Generic.SortedDictionary<int, string> sortedSections = null;
if (sections != null)
{
    sortedSections = new SortedDictionary<int, string>(sections);
}

sortedSections将包含section的排序版本

你可以按值对Dictionary进行排序并将其保存回自身(这样当你对它进行foreach时，值就会按顺序出来):

dict = dict.OrderBy(x => x.Value).ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value);

当然，这可能不正确，但它是有效的。海鲁姆定律意味着这很可能会继续起作用。

使用LINQ:

Dictionary<string, int> myDict = new Dictionary<string, int>();
myDict.Add("one", 1);
myDict.Add("four", 4);
myDict.Add("two", 2);
myDict.Add("three", 3);

var sortedDict = from entry in myDict orderby entry.Value ascending select entry;

这也为你提供了很大的灵活性，你可以选择前10%，20 - 10%等等。或者，如果您正在使用词频索引进行提前输入，您还可以包括StartsWith子句。

在较高的层次上，您别无选择，只能遍历整个Dictionary并查看每个值。

也许这有帮助: http://bytes.com/forum/thread563638.html 复制/粘贴自John Timney:

Dictionary<string, string> s = new Dictionary<string, string>();
s.Add("1", "a Item");
s.Add("2", "c Item");
s.Add("3", "b Item");

List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> myList = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>(s);
myList.Sort(
    delegate(KeyValuePair<string, string> firstPair,
    KeyValuePair<string, string> nextPair)
    {
        return firstPair.Value.CompareTo(nextPair.Value);
    }
);
